Dream-like Science Fiction and Fantasy

Paul Di Filippo is certainly a talented fantasy and SF writer. His short stories in "Shuteye for the Timebroker" are gems of the trade and remind me of the days a friend used to send me copies of "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction." In fact one of the stories was published in this old standard. From the lusty "Captain Jill" to the surrealistic "The Farthest Schorr" (the latter commemorated by the painting on the cover) Di Filippo has fashioned a brilliant collection of hard core SF-fantasy that is difficult to put down, If you have ever thought about the possibility of being awake 24 hours a day, or what would have happened if Jules Verne's Captain Nemo were real and his inventions had been applied to solving the world's problems in Iowa, or what it might be like to really go aboriginal, this is your book. Good reading on a trip, each story will reward the reader with odd and unexpected twists. If you like stories like those presented by Rod Serling on the Twilight Zone, you will love this collection!
