Dogs of Truth: New and Uncollected Stories

by KitReed (Author)

Synopsis

Kit Reed is one of modern science fiction's most striking voices; her latest novel, Thinner Than Thou , was acclaimed in both the mainstream and science fiction press. Dogs of Truth presents seventeen new or previously uncollected short stories by a writer The New York Times Book Review hails as visionary. Three brand new stories are the centre piece of Dogs of Truth . They tell of the Grand Opening of the world's largest mega-mall, study the relationship of a writer and his muse in Getting it Back, and take a dark look at the child-free lifestyle in The Shop of Little Horrors. Stories never-before published in book form include High Rise High, about a student revolt at the ultimate secure high school; Focus Group, where a star-struck fan and cutting edge biochips dictate what the rest of us see on TV; Escape from Shark Island, where attachment parenting and the family bed are taken to extremes; and Precautions, in which germ-phobia reigns supreme.
