"At once timely and timeless, ancient and futuristic–reimagining and remaking a region long potent in the imagination." - from the introduction by
Vanessa Hua, author of
Forbidden City"The stories in
This Side of the Divide: New Lore of the American West are fantastic, gritty, imaginative; full of characters as complicated and brutal as the landscapes they inhabit. As disturbing as it is delightful, this anthology both reveals and re-imagines the complex beauty of the American West. I couldn't put it down." -

"
This Side of the Divide: New Lore of the American West is a dazzling ride through reimagined and remixed landscapes of the still-lonesome American West. In its gleeful variety of genres and styles, this anthology affirms that the American West–as an active idea, as a ground for new meaning–is as wide and deep and wild as ever."
