The title story, 'Fire.', written especially for this volume, is a harrowing post-apocalyptic adventure in a world threatened by global conflagration. 'The Woman Men Couldn't See' is an expansion of Hand's acclaimed critical assessment of author Alice Sheldon. Another non-fiction piece, 'Beyond Belief,' recounts her difficult passage from alienated teen to serious artist. Also included are 'Kronia', a poignant time-travel romance, and 'The Saffron Gatherers', two of Hand's favourite and less familiar stories. Plus: a bibliography and an Outspoken Interview with Hand.

Elizabeth Hand flunked out of college a couple of years after seeing Patti Smith perform and became involved in the nascent punk scenes in DC and New York. From 1979 to 1986 she worked at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. She was eventually readmitted to university to study cultural anthropology and received her BA. She is the author of many novels, including Winterlong, Waking the Moon, Glimmering, Mortal Love, Illyria, and Radiant Days, as well as three collections of stories, including the recent Saffron and Brimstone. Her fiction has received the Nebula, World Fantasy, Mythopoeic, Tiptree, and International Horror Guild Awards, and her novels have been chosen as notable books by both the New York Times and the Washington Post. She has also been awarded a Maine Arts Commission Fellowship. A regular contributor to the Washington Post Book World and the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, she lives with her family on the coast of Maine.
