Summary
(From the publisher):
Some of his stories are science fiction, some fantasy, some horrific; all are powerfully affecting. It has been ten years since the last major Wolfe collection, and so Strange Travelers contains a whole decade of achievement, including: Bed and Breakfast, which begins with the line, "I know an old couple who live near Hell"; And When They Appear, a Christmas story that will break your heart; and The Ziggurat, a novella about an invasion.
Some of these stories were award nominees, some were controversial, all are unique and beautifully written.
