Bimbo on the Cover

This text relates to the 1st edition • Hardcover (Trade)

by Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff

"There’s a bimbo on the cover of the book. She is blonde and she is sexy; She is nowhere in the text. She is a bimbo on the cover of the book."

A bimbo can happen to anyone, even to an Analog-favorite writer like Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff. And when it does, there’s nothing to do but to write a song about it–which is just one of the Things you’ll find in these pages.

Along with Things, you’ll see what might happen when we finally make First Contact. You’ll read the advice an alien would give to the lovelorn. You’ll find that houses can be haunted by things that are far nastier than ghosts; that wishes can be granted in unexpected ways.

But not all stories can have happy endings. Some of them will disturb you or remind you that there are things worse than death.

Every story will have you turning the page to find out what happens next. From funny to serious, from dark fantasy to straight-up science fiction, and even into mystery, Maya is a master storyteller and we are delighted to present this collection of her work.

Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff

Maya’s addicted to speculative fiction. For this, she blames her dad and Ray Bradbury. She’s authored a dozen novels of speculative fiction, and short fiction that’s appeared in Analog, Amazing Stories, Interzone, and others. She has been a finalist for the Campbell, Nebula, Sidewise, and British SF awards. Her most recent novel is Devil’s Daughter: Lucinda’s Pawnshop, Book 1–co-authored with Hope Schenk-de Michele and Paul Marquez.

Maya is half of the musical duo Maya & Jeff (that’s Chef Jeff Vader, All-Powerful God of Biscuits).
