Catherynne M. Valente  the New York Times bestselling and multiple-award-winning author of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making and other acclaimed novels  now brings readers thirteen stories unlike any others.  In the title story  Theodore Sturgeon Award-winning novelette The Future Is Blue  an outcast girl named Tetley lives on floating Garbagetown  in a world that dreams of the long lost land. Lovecrafts Cthulhu mythos is explored and reinvented in style in Down and Out in Rlyeh. In the novelette The Limitless Perspective of Master Peek  or  the Luminescence of Debauchery  Perpetua masquerades as a man in order to continue her fathers business as a glassblower and must fashion a special eye for a queen. And in The Beasts Who Fought for Fairyland Until the Very End  the wyvern A-Through-L  the warrior Green Wind and his giant cat the Leopard of Little Breezes cope with their broken-hearted disappointment over politicks as the evil Marquess ascends to rule.
