One of Crowley's hard-to-find masterpieces, \"Gone\" is a Kafkaesque science fiction adventure about an alien invasion that includes door-to-door leafleting and yard work. Perhaps the most entertaining of Crowley's \"Easy Chair\" columns in \u003cem\u003eHarper's\u003c\/em\u003e, \"Everything That Rises\" explores the fractal interface between Russian spiritualism and quantum singularities--with a nod to both Columbus and Flannery O'Connor. \"And Go Like This\" creeps in from \u003cem\u003eDatlow's Year's Best\u003c\/em\u003e, the Wild Turkey of horror anthologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlus: \u003c\/em\u003e There's a bibliography, an author bio, and of course our Outspoken Interview, the usual cage fight between candor and common sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Crowley\u003c\/b\u003e won the Award for Literature of the American Academy of Letters in 1992 and the World Fantasy Award three times.
