Editorial Reviews

Review

"Bowes stands, as the best authors always do, in a class of his own." -- Charles De Lint Praise for "My Life in Speculative Fiction"

"Quite powerful. For...those interested in literary values and psychological plot twists." -- Science Fiction Chronicle

"Squeezing a gay coming-of-age story with sci-fi tinges into 50 pages is a mighty undertaking, but...Bowes pulls it off." -- Yahoo! Internet Life

"Well-written and highly emotional, Bowes's memoir has . . . wide-ranging appeal." -- Publishers Weekly


Product Description

Four never-before-reprinted stories from one of science fiction's brightest new talents, including the World Fantasy Award winning novella Streetcar Dreams, which became the basis of the Lambda Award Winning novel, Minions of the Moon. Plus an all-new novella, My Life in Speculative Fiction, a masterpiece of twisted narcissism in which the narrator, a gay SF/Fantasy writer in contemporary New York, is caught by half-buried memories and begins to search for his own youthful self -- a search that will lead into strange new lands and relationships, where the line separating fiction and reality blurs and finally disappears all together . . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Science Fiction, not Seaweed, January 31, 2006
Despite what Amazon says (used to say - they finally corrected it) Publisher's Weekly says about this book being about floridated water, mercury fillings and seaweed - that is a DIFFERENT BOOK they are talking about - the RIGHT BOOK, 'Transfigured Night' by Richard Bowes, is actually some very bleak Urban Fantasy short stories revealing glimpses into the dark oubliettes and alleyways, abandoned piers and freight yards of the author's surpressed subconscious. Urbane Fanastic Urban Renewal by way of Shock Therapy and Lobotomy. Read only in the bright light of day on Subway Stations standing near Police Officers you know to be human for certain...
