Three short stories: Red Nails Jewels of Gwahlur Beyond the Black River
Callahans Crosstime Saloon
Regular readers of the newsgroup alt.callahans will need no introduction to this book. It is a collection of stories set in a place called Callahans Bar. Although obviously science fiction, the stories mostly about people, with the science being completely incidental. Spider Robinson is clearly a believer in human goodness, but he writes well enough that the stories dont degenerate into being feel-good. This is light entertainment after all, so its permissible to simplify the moral issues a litt
Miracle and Other Christmas Stories
The witty, literate Willis offers a wonderfully enjoyable ode to Christmas with this collection of eight fantastic seasonal tales. In Inn, Willis turns what could have been a maudlin church choir story into a poignant tale with a time-travel twist. The title piece, Miracle, is a screwball office comedy in which Its a Wonderful Life is soundly trounced in favor of Miracle on 34th Street, and the spirit of an ecologically aware surfer appears to give a reluctant heroine her hearts desire. A world-

Cruel Miracles
Synopsis:I believe that speculative fiction -- science fiction in particular -- is the last American refuge of religious literature... Real religious literature, I think, explores the nature of the universe and discovers the purpose behind it. When we find that purpose, we have found God, because in all religions at all times, regardless of the outward descriptions of God or gods, deity serves the same role: He (or she or they) is the purposer, the planner...-Orson Scott Card, from his introduct

Song of the Silent Snow
These 15 stories from the author of Last Exit to Brooklyn range from clipped street vernacular to poetic description, but common to all the pieces in this slightly uneven collection is a compassionate vision. The Coat is essential Selby: an unsparing portrait of a homeless man whose relationship with his coathis lifelineis more humanly meaningful than the violent city around him. A girl on a subway becomes a mans fantasy object, a salesman finds courage and success through fortune cookies, a fat
Three Lives
