Impossibilia (Short Story Collections)
Description:
FINALIST FOR THE AURORA AWARD—Best Collection
"There are three stories in this collection, and they reach from van Gogh's rural France to the classic travelling fair to the far lost forest, and from timeshift to shapeshift to the activity of luck. That's range, or at least a glimpse of range, in the grand manner that harks back to Bradbury and Sturgeon and Ellison."—Chaz Brenchley, British Fantasy Award Winner
Like any of us, the characters we meet in IMPOSSIBILIA have things they hide inside—secrets, fears, aspects of themselves they keep locked away. Or try to. Only their things are a little...different.
A painter who talks to Vincent van Gogh...
A shapeshifter hunting one of his own...
The secret to being the luckiest man alive...
Welcome to IMPOSSIBILIA!
From the reviews:
"Rarely have I seen such an apt title to any book! Douglas Smith has given us three amazing stories that are so unusual and beautiful that no other name than Impossibilia could possibly describe this collection. Each tale was rapture and ecstasy, magical and mysterious, perfect and implausible. ... I don’t know what else to say without spoiling things for you so I won’t say anything else, except READ THIS BOOK!!!" — Jim Dodge Jr., Mass Movement Magazine, May 2009
"The writing is superb. Douglas Smith is an artisan and his stories beautifully crafted. ... In my search for the perfect short story, the three in this volume certainly qualify." —Kelly Jensen, SF Crowsnest Book Reviews, 2009
"There is a certain exhilaration that comes from reading the book’s complex and powerfully emotional stories couched in that deft and smooth prose. … [Smith deserves] to be known to by a very wide audience indeed." —Dead Reckonings review magazine
"Highly, highly recommended." —Liviu Suciu, Fantasy Book Critic, 2009
