by (W) James Sallis
A compelling call for compassion and resilience in the maw of social dissolution from literary legend James Sallis, master of many genres and Nebula, Edgar, and Shamus–nominated author of DriveAll I wanted was for my life, when you picked it up in your hands, to have some weight to it. In a not-so-distant future the United States has fragmented, balkanizing into unstable provinces often at war with one another, and Americans, their great promise not so much lost as forfeited, are encountering the terrors and devastation so much of the world daily lives with. Throughout a land littered with refugees, ruins, orphaned children, soldiers, militia, and fugitives, people go on about their daily lives as best they can.The five linked stories of World’s Edge track the false starts and stall-outs of a nation and civilization trying to rise again, to rebuild, and of individuals caught up in that rebirthing. As ever, the only true history lies in the story of individual lives, in the old rag and bone shop of our hearts.

James Sallis has published eighteen novels, including Drive, which was made into a now-iconic film, and the six-volume Lew Griffin series. He is a recipient of the Hammett Prize for literary excellence in crime fiction, the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière, the Deutsche Krimipreis, and the Brigada 21 in Spain, as well as Bouchercon’s Lifetime Achievement Award. His biography of Chester Himes was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and he has been shortlisted for the Anthony, Nebula, Edgar, Shamus, and Gold Dagger Awards.

by (W) James Sallis
For the first time ever, the complete short fiction of literary legend James Sallis is collected in one gorgeous volume—a must-have gift for the crime, mystery, or speculative fiction fan in your life.Published over the six decades of Sallis's storied career, the complete collection contains 154 stories, 11 of which are exclusive to this volume.By all accounts, James Sallis is a multi-hyphenate, once-in-a-generation thinker—an innovator of multiple genres, styles, and forms. Lit Hub has compared Sallis to contemporaries Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon. While he is revered as a literary godfather of the crime and noir genres—his contributions including such works Drive, now a cult-classic film, and his Lew Griffin series—he is equally respected among speculative fiction practitioners for the work he began publishing in science fiction magazines in the 1960s. He is recognized for his uncompromising craft, and for the poetry, philosophy, and empathy he imbues in each glittering moment. Now, for the first time ever, Sallis’s complete short fiction—154 stories—is collected in one gorgeous volume—a must-have library addition for readers of speculative fiction and noir, and for writers of all genres.
