Beast of the Heartland: And Other Stories

Autor Lucius Shepard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 1999
"Brings to mind the best work of Graham Greene, Robert Stone, and Ward Just."--Wall Street Journal

The fiction of Lucius Shepard has more to do with Joseph Conrad than Isaac Asimov. Fascinated by deception and decay, and generally labeled a cyberpunk writer, his work transcends the limits of genre fiction.Beast of the Heartlandcontains seven tales that explore the dark side where science fiction meets horror. Headed by the award-winning "Barnacle Bill the Spacer," a story of high-space mutiny, the book includes "A Little Night Music," a gothic tale of insanity; "All the Perfumes of Araby," where an adventurer in the Middle East links up with an ancient entity; "Human History," a postapocalyptic chiller; "Sports in America," a noir tale in the Chandler tradition; "The Sun Spider," a mini space opera; and the title story--an ingenious picture of a battered boxer on the decline.
