Punktown by Jeffrey Thomas

Description: RAMSEY CAMPBELL, MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNER: "A dazzingly complex and detailed future vision as poetic as it is horrifying, full of insights and images that cling to the mind."

PAUL DI FILIPPO (writing in Asimov's SF Magazine): "Elegant stories that conduct a sometimes shocking, sometimes droll tour of Thomas' Interzone-like, Burroughsian metropolis...[Punktown] seethes with various alien and human races like some postmodern version of a Leigh Brackett Martian slum."

BRIAN MCNAUGHTON, WORLD FANTASY AWARD WINNER: "Thomas uses the tropes of SF in their more horrific mode to explore serious questions of art and life, of crime and punishment, of memory and identity, but he never forgets his obligation to give us vivid characters and lively tales."

DAVID B. SILVA, EDITOR OF HELLNOTES: "Make no mistake, these are stories that shine a light on the darkest recesses of the soul. But through it all, Thomas manages to keep his readers focused on those inherent struggles that make us, above all else, human beings. Emotionally charged and fascinating."
