The Ocean and All Its Devices wont disappoint. Spencers first collection, The Return of Count Electric was acclaimed by reviewers in The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, Cemetery Dance, Publishers Weekly and other magazines and newspapers. Science fiction legend Roger Zelazny, once introduced to Spencers work, became a lifelong devotee. He wrote: William Browning Spencer is one of those rare short story writers who comes along once in a generation  like Saki, Collier, Sheckley  and manages to combine all of the virtues within that restricted format. The Ocean and All Its Devices collects some of Spencers finest published work. Three of these stories appeared in years best anthologies. Another, The Death of the Novel, was a finalist for a Bram Stoker Award, while The Essayist in the Wilderness was on the final ballot for a World Fantasy Award.Contains: Introduction (The Ocean and All Its Devices) essayThe Ocean and All Its Devices (1994) noveletteThe Oddskeepers Daughter (1995) noveletteThe Death of the Novel (1995) short storyDownloading Midnight (1995) noveletteYour Faithful Servant (1993) short storyThe Foster Child (2000) short storyThe Halfway House at the Heart of Darkness (1998) short storyThe Lights of Armageddon (1994) short storyThe Essayist in the Wilderness (2002) novelette\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brand: Subterranean Press","offers":[{"title":"Spencer, William Browning \/ hardcover","offer_id":47844414521589,"sku":"SONG1596060476","price":49.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/81gK4Mb8G0L.jpg?v=1773813748","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/the-ocean-and-all-its-devices","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
