The Passing of the Dragon

A collection of thirteen short stories from Ken Liu, master of short-form SFF. From Ken Liu, the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Paper Menagerie and Hidden Girl, comes a dazzling new collection of thirteen stories that explore the boundaries of imagination. In these tales, dragons soar over small towns, mech-animals dream of freedom, and techno-witches weave spells against a world ruled by machines. A painter wrestles with transcendence, an aging scorpion helps his daughter escape tradition, and a consciousness aboard a starship witnesses the death and rebirth of the cosmos. Blending science fiction and fantasy with profound meditations on identity, memory, and connection, Ken Liu once again proves himself a master of the short form — offering stories that will linger long after the last page is turned.
