Washed by a Wave of Wind: Science Fiction from the Corridor

Salt Lake City, UT: Signature Books, 1993

  • Michael Shayne Bell: Editor
Short Story, Science Fiction
Mormons--Fiction
In this impressive anthology, twenty writers, most with national reputations and all with ties to the Intermountain West, craft believable, near-future stories which reflect the region’s subtleties. Religious technocrats invade dreams, women mysteriously dissappear, Anasazi ruins become latter-day refuges, earthquake predictions spoil an end-of-the-century party, and a fossilized dinosaur wreaks posthumous havoc. Each haunting story carries the depth of authenticity and the power of a twenty-first century construct. These sophisticated, subverse, prophetic tales represent contemporary science fiction at its best. [from back cover]
