by Jack Cady (Author)
In this third volume of collected short work, Jack Cady shows his mastery of narrative and uniqueness. Winner of the Bram Stoker Award, the Nebula Award, and many others, Cady captures the feelings and fleeting moments that seem far beyond the reach of mortals who don't have the patience to look.
Ephemera includes stories that demonstrate Cady's Western spiritual paradigm, such as "The Sons of Noah," about members of a secluded pious community living in close harmony with primordial forces interrupted by an eruption of Old Testament violence, and "The Priest," written after a study of the journal of George Fox. Then there are tales such as his 1965 Atlantic Monthly story "The Burning," where Cady introduced a character that would appear in his 1981 novel Singleton.
Cady produced some of his finest work in short fiction. The tales within prove that he was truly a breathtaking writer.
