Praise for Ysabeau S. Wilce's previous books:This fresh and funky setting is rich with glorious costumes, innovative language, and tantalizing glimpses of history."-Kirkus Reviews, starred reviewThese inter-connected stories are set in an opulent quasi-historical world of magick and high manners called the Republic of Califa. The Republic is a strangely familiar place-a baroque approximation of Gold Rush era-California with an overlay of Aztec ceremony-yet the characters who populate it are true originals: rockstar magicians, murderous gloves, bouncing boy terrors, blue tinted butlers, sentient squids, and a three-year-old Little Tiny Doom and her vengeful pink plush pig. By turn whimsical and horrific (sometime in the same paragraph), Wilce's stories have been characterized as "screwball comedies for goths" but they could also be described as "historical fantasies" or "fanciful histories" for there are nuggets of historical fact hidden in them there lies. Ysabeau S. Wilce is the author ofFlora Segunda, Andre Norton AwardwinnerFlora's Dare, andFlora's Fury, and she has published work inAsimov's, Steampunk!, andFantasy & Science Fiction. She lives in San Francisco, California. " | Prophecies Libels & Dreams by Ysabeau S. Wilce, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
