Angels and demons at war in the desert. The king of a court of whispers. An ex-lover hidden in the mirror. A house that only wants to love you and a superhero who deserves better than he's got. And camels. Don't forget the camels. With " ... an ear for snappy dialogue and a gift for understated characterization" (Matthew Nadelhaft, Tangent Online ), Laura E. Price has created nine stories where the mythic collides with the real in the most unexpected and intriguing ways. Collecting early and hard to find work, as well as a brand new story featuring the Teachout sisters (and those camels), The Stars; the Silence is a treat for both her new and constant readers.
