From Dan Simmons, the acclaimed author of The Terror, Drood and The Fifth Heart, the fantasy epic Hyperion/Endymion, The Dark Game of Death and Summer of Night, winner of many prestigious genre awards, - a complete collection of small-form works. The book includes three author’s collections, as well as short stories and novellas that were not included in the collections, and some things take place in the universe of “Hyperion” and “Endymion” or the “Ilion” / “Olympus” duology. “If any author makes me enthusiastic dumbfounded, it’s Dan Simmons,” wrote Stephen King. Harlan Ellison echoed him: “For those of us who value good prose above all else, the name Dan Simmons is an indispensable sign of quality.” Some of the works are published for the first time or in new translations, the rest are in new editions.
