ON THE EYEBALL FLOOR
AND OTHER STORIES
From the Nebula-nominated author of Ironskin comes Tina Connolly’s first full-length collection, with two dozen stories spanning a decade of writing.
These inventive and compelling stories contain tales of transcending cyborgs, shapeshifting bears, sentient hands, rogue GPSs, superhero moms groups, zombie chipmunks, and a story told from the point of view of a paddle in Pong.
Her stories have been described as original, charming, delightful, unexpected, poignant, mystifying, beautiful, horrific, intricate, darkly funny, imaginative, fascinating, and just plain weird.
The 25 stories and 3 poems include her prequel story to her Seriously Wicked series from Tor Teen, as well as one new story exclusive to the collection.
"Enticingly varied first collection . . . Connolly writes with a vividness that immerses the reader in her scenarios and makes their unpredictable endings all the more fulfilling." -- Publishers Weekly
