Gene Wolfe may be the signle best writer in fantasy and science fiction today. His quotes and reviews certainly support that contention, and so does his impressive short fiction oeuvre. Innocents Abroad gathers fantasy and horror stories from the last decade that have never before been in a Wolfe collection. Highlights from the twenty-two stories include "The Tree is my Hat," adventure and horror in the South Seas, "The Night Chough," a Long Sun story, "The Walking Sticks" a darkly humorous tale of a supernatural inheritance, and "Houston, 1943," lurid adventures in a dreamt that has no end. This is fantastic fiction at its best.
