Praise for Douglas Smith ". . . Smith's voice proves one of the
more endearing features of this sampling of his work, which holds
true even in his individual story prefaces--an authorial vice that
can be distracting, but in Smith's hands remains charming."
--Strange Horizons "Reading Smith's stories is like taking a series
of guided tours through strange places--you don't expect any
bombshells to be dropped on you but you do expect to see something
new and memorable. Chimerascope delivers that in spades and is well
worth the price of admission."
--The Canadian Science Fiction Review "Doug Smith is, quite simply,
the finest short-story writer Canada has ever produced in the
science fiction and fantasy genres, and he's also the most
prolific. His stories are a treasure trove of riches that will
touch your heart while making you think."
--Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids
