CIRCLES IN THE HAIR

An anthology by the members of CITH

"Open read. enjoy this gourmet sampling of the boldest and most accomplished of today's new voices in Fantasy, SF and Horror. Circles in the Hair--a delight to read. --Terry Bisson, Nebula & Hugo Award-winning author

"The greatest puzzle about CITH is not its name, or the group's longevity, or their willingness to navigate the wilds of New York City in order to regularly meet and critique. the greatest puzzle about CITH is something else even more amazing: the quality and variety of their output." --Nancy Kress, Nebula & Hugo Award-winning author

The stories are set in times as distant as Bronze Age China and the far flung future; and in places as strange as a courthouse in Brooklyn and the Edge of the universe. Meet a were-moose, aboriginal spirits, a fetal vampire, and the devil’s mother-in-law. These stories evoke laughter, tears, shivers, and thoughtfulness. Five were singled out for Honorable Mention by Ellen Datlow in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror: Nineteenth Collection.
