Sleeps With Angels

Dave Hutchinson is one of today’s finest science fiction writers. His latest novel, Europe in Autumn (2014), which has garnered praise from critics and readers alike, has been shortlisted for both the Arthur C Clarke Award and the BSFA Award. Sleeps With Angels is his first collection in more than a decade, featuring the author’s choice of his best short fiction during that time, including “The Incredible Exploding Man”, selected by Gardner Dozois for his Year’s Best Science Fiction in 2012, and a brand new story “Sic Transit Gloria Mundi”, original to this collection.

“Hutchinson knows how to write dialogue, how to plot, how to pace, and best of all he writes characters – both main characters, and walk-on figures – that just lift off the page, alive, distinct, believable.” – Adam Roberts.
