A Fantastic Holiday Season: The Gift of Stories (Volume 2)

No one told Cammie about the children. She finds out on her sixth eradication. The fear in the little girl's eyes, the horror at Cammie's approach, brings on the dreams. She trained hard to become a vampire slayer, but now she questions everything. Her job, her motivations, even her own past. "Children of the Night" appears in a different form in the novel Sins of the Blood. "It's horror in the same way that Robert Bloch's Psycho is-horror of the soul."-Locus on Sins of the Blood

Children of the Night

When Dylan's wife, Geneva, dies, Dylan refuses to believe it. Not because he believes in ghosts, but because he believes in science. Geneva, a physicist, believed humans could overcome the perception of linear time. If her theories hold true, Dylan can change his perceptions and Geneva will live again. He has nothing to lose, and Geneva to gain."Rusch writes humanist SF. Her lead characters (most notably the wife/brilliant physicist in "Without End") exhibit lively intellects spurred on by keen imaginations, and are capable of both compassion and love. Such complex natures can lead to emotional suffering, but also to Rusch's special version of the "happy ending"-a transcendence of grief, guilt, sometimes even mortality."-Locus

Without End

Inspired with permission by Janis Ian's song, "Play like a Girl" weaves Ian's lyrics into a story of empowerment.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch's "Play like a Girl, " originally written for the bestselling anthology Stars, lingers in the mind forever."Rusch's short fiction is golden."-The Kansas City Star

Still, Paladin demands that Spade babysit Casper, and Spade never says no to Paladin. Even when it comes to babysitting on Halloween weekend, while Spade runs the second most important convention of the year. Because Paladin doesn't ask favors; she solves crimes.

Devlin trudges through his job on the space station waiting for retirement and hoping he won't die first. A test pilot with Licensing and Regulation, he makes sure only the most qualified pilots make it to the test flight, let alone pass it. But sometimes, even the most jaded tester misses something. And the difference between life and death on a space station? Missing nothing. Nothing at all."Rusch takes a fairly mundane scenario and makes a most readable story. Through the well-observed downbeat and wry narrative voice of a spacepilot licence examiner, we look at some of the issues in making a life out there in the solar system."-Best SF"Safety Tests" by Kristine Kathryn Rusch puts the mundane role of the driver's test instructor in space, increasing the danger and thus increasing the excitement. I had no clue where this story was going to go but was happy to go on the ride. In the end Rusch surprises! (A)-Stainless Steel Droppings"Kristine Kathryn Rusch has one of the most pleasant and easily readable styles in the sf field today. 'Safety Tests' is no exception.it's a fun, quick read."-Tangent Online"Devlin's narrative is deeply toned with entertaining cynicism. Rusch pulls off a tough one, making the license tester [we've all met this guy] sympathetic, the regulations [stoopid rules] make sense, and the story enjoyable."-Locus"Kristine Kathryn Rusch's grimly comic 'Safety Tests' is all about how tremendously dangerous flying a spaceship is."-The Idea Refinery
