Story Until Now

The best stories from a master of speculative fictionCalled "e;one of our brightest cultural commentators"e; by Publishers Weekly, Kit Reed draws from life with a difference. This new collection brings together thirty-four of her strong, original stories, from early classics like "e;The Wait"e; and "e;Winter"e; to six never-before-collected short stories, including "e;The Legend of Troop 13"e; and "e;Wherein We Enter the Museum."e; An early favorite, "e;Automatic Tiger,"e; is the first in a series of Reed's stories about animals. There's a monkey who grinds out bestsellers with the help of a "e;creative writing"e; app. Her uncanny black dog can enter a crowded room and sit down at the feet of the next man to die. Her characters confront war in various arenas: mother/daughter battles, the war of the sexes, the struggles of men scarred by war. Kit Reed's self-described "e;transgenred"e; fiction is confirmation of an "e;extraordinary talent"e; (The Financial Times). The range and complexity of her work speaks for itself in The Story Until Now.
