Whenever I encounter one of Jeffers’ stories in an anthology such as in Touch of the Sea or Boys of Summer, I usually read it first because I know I will be astounded, not only by the depth of his imagination but by his ability to make those imagined worlds become real. I also know that I will be reading a story layered with atmosphere and meaning—dense and delicious as a flourless chocolate cake. Jeffers’ greatest talent lies in creating worlds similar enough to ours to be recognizable yet sing...
Great collection of stories, each like a new fairytale, something to transport you entirely out of your own life.
Abode of Bliss was a favorite of mine last year. Jeffers continues his mastery of the short story format--this time in the speculative fiction genre--and I am not a lover of speculative fiction. Excellent.
