The Grinding House is the CSFG’s sole single-author collection to date, presenting twenty stories by Kaaron Warren. The original book was edited by CSFG member Donna Maree Hanson, with a cover by Robyn Evans.
“Kaaron Warren’s voice is clear, original and sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel. Her characters, no matter how bizarre their evolution or environment, reach out to us as people, their struggles becoming our own, and her stories, although often unrelenting, are shot through with an optimism and affection for our frail, striving species. Kaaron Warren’s stories, filled with narrative energy, hum like power lines, and don’t let you go until you’ve read the last word in the last sentence. Best of all, and so rare in the field, she writes science fiction for grown-ups.” –Simon Brown, author of The Chronicles of Kydan
