INVISIBLE PLEASURES “. . . this is an excellent collection by one of the best writers of fantasy that I have ever encountered.” — Sam Tomaino, SF Revu.com “I read all of them all the way through, which regular readers will know is unusual for me with short fiction. If you are prepared to accept the mix of styles . . . then you should find this book entertaining.”— Cheryl Morgan, Emerald City “Zambreno writes psychologically astute historical fiction, as well as sensitive fantasy, but don’t underestimate her twisted sense of humor. Those looking for an anthology of unusual and varied subjects should read Invisible Pleasures for its own merits . . . and not just because Jane Yolen said so.” — Elizabeth Allen, Tangent Online |
Mary Frances Zambreno’s stories of powerful, intuitive women have engaged readers young and old for over twenty years. Known primarily for her young adult novels (Journeyman Wizard, A Plague of Sorcerers), you will find that her tales for adults are equally “Fast-moving, expertly written, and altogether charming.*” Her first collection, Invisible Pleasures is a gathering of the best of her adult and young adult short fiction with four new stories for her fans. Queens, healers, witches, adventurers, students, young girls and others are the focus of these tales. Zambreno’s protagonists are always pushed to the limit, finding their individual strength and resolve though adversity. Whether they occupy the author’s home of Chicago or the worlds of fairie, their journeys take place in a hostile world, whose threats are conquered by clear thinking, intellect and courage. At their heart, Zambreno’s stories are puzzles whose clever resolutions surprise and amaze the readers who have grown to love them. With a deft hand she misdirects, teaches and astounds in stories that flow as easily as water. American Fantasy is proud to publish this collection which we are sure will become one of your favorites. A 500 copy hardcover first edition with an introduction by Jane Yolen. $25.00 plus postage and handling *Kirkus Review of Journeyman Wizard.
