A is for Alien

Caitlin R. Kiernan

A is for Alien is award-winning author Caitlin R. Kiernan's first collection 
devoted entirely to her science-fiction work. It includes the critically 
acclaimed novelette Riding the White Bull (chosen for The Year's Best Science 
Fiction, 22nd Annual Collection), along with seven other tales of a 
less-than-utopian future. Ranging from the wastelands and mountains of Mars to 
the streets of a late 21st-Century Manhattan, from the moons of Europa and 
Saturn to an iceless Antarctica, these tales bring Kiernan's trademark brand of 
the eco-gothic to bear on what it means to be human and the paths and decisions 
that may face mankind only a little farther along.
