Campbell, and Locus Award finalist for Best Novella, and one of NPR's Best Books of 2016 Professor Vellitt Boe teaches at the prestigious Ulthar Women's College. When one of her most gifted students elopes with a dreamer from the waking world, Vellitt must retrieve her. d"Kij Johnson's haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life.

A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading." --Pamela Sargent, winner of the Nebula Award.…
