The Dog Said Bow-Wow

Great literature has never been this much fun before. The reigning master of short fiction reinvents science fiction and fantasy in a dazzling new collection unlike anything you have ever read. Time-travelling dinosaurs wreak havoc on a placid Vermont town. An ogre is murdered in a locked room in Faerie. An uncanny bordello proves as dangerous as it is alluring. Language is stolen from the builders of Babel. Those strangely love able Post-Utopian scoundrels and con men, Darger and Surplus, swindle their way through London, Paris, and Arcadia. The book includes three Hugo Award-winning stories and an original novelette of swashbuckling romance and adventure, "The Skysailor's Tale!". Ranging from the hardest of science fiction to the highest of fantasy, this irresistible collection amuses and enlightens as only Michael Swanwick can.

"What makes Swanwick special is his ability to wring fresh, unexpected consequences from standard [science fiction] notions." --"Kirkus"
