"Gentle humor, beautiful rage, exquisite worlds that image the past, the future, and the never-was, all come together in A Catalog of Storms. The depth and breadth of Wilde's talent is on display as she fluidly moves between genres with stories of hope and wonder. A gorgeous collection that will sweep readers away."
— A.C. Wise, author of Out of the Drowning Deep
"Fran Wilde's fiction turns poetry and magic into words. Read these stories and you will never again view in the same way such common things as storms, keys, museums, a child's love for unicorns. Wilde is an alchemist, turning the ordinary into the richly, rewardingly strange."
— Nancy Kress, author of Beggars in Spain
"Fran Wilde’s writing teases out dark threads from the seemingly ordinary. These stories will give you new and enlightening perspectives, while always focusing on that all-important human center. Enjoy!"
— Carrie Vaughn, author of The Naturalist Society
"Subtle, quiet, and convincing. This is the shape of science fiction to come."
— Michael Swanwick, author of The Iron Dragon's Mother and Stations of the Tide
"A beautiful collection of vividly-imagined worlds and well-realized characters, depicted in gorgeous prose."
— Caroline M. Yoachim, author of Seven Wonders of a Once and Future World
More Praise for FRAN WILDE
“Fran Wilde’s work combines exquisitely crafted worldbuilding, vivid and memorable characters, and stories that stay with readers long after they have turned the last page. Her stories are by turns exhilarating, heartbreaking and freeing. I always impatiently look forward to reading them."
— Aliette de Bodard, author of A Fire Born of Exile and Navigational Entanglements
"It's that rare bird, the follow-up to a highly praised first novel that doesn't just equal its predecessor's accomplishments, but exceeds them. I felt Updraft was a promising debut effort; Cloudbound sees much of that promise realized, with hints of more to come."
— Locus Magazine on Cloudbound
