A finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Many important fantasists and science fiction writers have lived and written in Colorado from the 1940s to the 1990s. For some, Colorado did not feature prominently in their work. But for others, its high mountains and deserts and unique urban enclaves proved a profoundly interesting backdrop for works of imagination. Now editor Steve Rasnic Tem has assembled a notable cast of contributors and some of the best writing in the field, much of it entirely new or previously uncollected. Work is included from Vance Aandahl, Michael Bishop, Ed Bryant, Joanne Greenberg, Wil McCarthy, Stanley Mullen, Bruce Holland Rogers, Melanie Tem, Don Webb, Connie Willis and many others. An original novella by Dan Simmons is also included in its first appearance in print. In addition to the fiction, High Fantastic is illustrated with art of the fantastic created by Colorado artists of the 1940s through the 1990s. Ed Bryant has contributed a history of genre writers and writing in Colorado, and art editor Lee Ballentine has also contributed an essay on Art and Science Fiction in the state.

Steve and Melanie Tem have expanded the ideas in the original award-winning story The Man on the Ceiling to create a compelling work that examines how people find a family, stay together despite incomprehensible tragedy, and, in the end, how they find love.

The Canterbury Nightmares is a collection of stories from the edge of the abyss. Combining the essence of Chaucer's pilgrims on their journey to a shrine, with what appeared to be the end of a global pandemic, these tales were born in a time when personal connections were few, breathing the air in a grocery store felt unsafe, and the country was dissolving into seemingly irreparable divisions. Eleven travelers heading out to visit The Grand Canyon. All of them have their reasons. All of them have their losses, and their pain. All of them are dark. From an old man taking a promised journey with his wife, to a congregation that has lost its way, from different backgrounds and cultures, to different ways of dealing with grief, loss, and isolation, this book will take you places you do not expect.

„Das langsame Fallen von Staub an einem ruhigen Ort“ ist die erste Kurzgeschichten-Sammlung von Steve Rasnic Tem, die nun in deutscher Übersetzung vorliegt, zu Wort gekommen im Literatur Quickie Verlag. Schon lange wartet man hierzulanden auf seine „spekulative Poesie“ und seine Prosa, die einen so unverwechselbaren Ton hat, dass von einem spezifischen „Temismus“ die Rede ist. Tems Storys sind eigentümliche, beunruhigende Kurzgeschichten, die sich mit unseren menschlichen Abgründen, Abseiten und Ängsten befassen und uns das gesamte, auch irre Interieur unseres Innenlebens vor Augen führen. Sie bewegen sich auf einem schmalen Grat zwischen Seltsamen und Schrecklichen. In ihrer subtilen Kraft und prosaischen Perfidität bleiben sie, einmal gelesen, unvergesslich. Ein Buch voller surrealistischer Reiseberichte.
