Description: 'Cristina Jurado is a powerful new voice in Spanish speculative fiction' Lavie Tidhar, 2017 John W. Campbell Award Winner for Central Station and 2011 World Fantasy Award for Osama 'Here is erotic cosmic dark fantasy; here is a doomed astronaut snatched from suicide in space by ... something. Here is a psychopath with her memories erased, murderously on the trail of Who, and Why? Here are very dark visceral visions--of a swamp creature upon the ceiling, of ruthless bestial battles against shadows. Here are radically 'other' stories, muscular, gritty, evocative. Here's your chance to relish what Spanish readers voted the best story of 2017. I am so impressed by this outstanding, and eloquently translated, collection.' Ian Watson, author of the screen story for Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence 'Jurado's fiction sometimes defies classification, but is always stimulating, imaginative and thought-provoking. Thank the stars that none of the quality got lost in translation. Any fan of fantastical fiction will enjoy the stories in Alphaland' Tade Thompson, author of Rosewater and The Murders of Molly Southbourne 'Stories of identity, paranoia and loss that reso-nate in the mind and which will leave you both uncomfortable and entertained. Recommended for any fan of dark fiction.' Jason Sizemore, Hugo-nominated editor of Apex Publications.
