Stalin'S Teardrops: And Other Stories eBook

Ian Watson is one of the most prolific short story writers in contemporary science fiction, with a range and invention that others might envy. In this collection we move from a ghostly occurrence in Catalonia to a memorably hallucinatory and atmospheric tale of eggs and ectoplasm in pre-glasnost Russia. The Times said of Watson that his ''stories are springloaded with effect, compressed with a drama that, in others, might take a novel to eke out'', a judgement confirmed by he dozen stories collected here.
