"An astonishing collection from a writer of boundless imagination--full of heart, intelligence, and sense of wonder."
     - John Joseph Adams, Series Editor of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy
"Yoachim circles back in successive stories to add layers to major themes...truly noteworthy."
      - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"The work collected here is a sublime distillation of whimsy and deepmelancholic thought, darkness, sorrow, and the occasional ray oflaugh-out-loud light, with moments of beauty that will stab you--very,very precisely--so that it hurts the most. This is a bloody goodcollection that deserves a lot of attention."
