Maureen McHugh
Mothers and Other Monsters
edition of 100
Maureen McHugh is the author of four acclaimed novels. Her genre-expanding
short fiction has won the Hugo and Locus Awards and has frequently been
included in Best of the Year anthologies. Since 1988 she has attracted a
broad readership in publications such as Asimov's, Scifiction, Starlight,
The Year's Best Science Fiction, and The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.
Now, in her long-awaited first collection, McHugh's subtle talents
illuminate the relationship between parents and children from angles that
everyone -- mother or father, daughter or son -- can relate to. These are
beautiful stories about the ways in which social and technological shifts
impact family dynamics.
