MacLeod's fancy roams gloriously free in these stories, and its synergy with his command of the textures of ordinary life makes Breathmoss a brilliant book, the schisms in its creative heart luminously reconciled.

Nick Gevers, Locus, June 2004

The Publisher says:

The literary short fiction of Ian R. MacLeod combines fantasy, science fiction, and horror in vivid settings, peopled with normal humans with normal relationships, and the interaction of the mundane with the fantastic is where MacLeod shows his skills.
