Notes
A novel in (somewhat) linked stories. The book is credited as the author's first novel but it is a fix-up novel and is closer to a collection than a novel. It is added here as a collection to allow the separate stories to have their own records (as at least one of them (Dragoi) is longlisted for an award).

It is added here as a collection to allow the separate stories to have their own records (as at least one of them is longlisted for an award). "Maya" is presented as a hand-written 1 page story by a child. The rest of the stories are split into two separate sections: "One: The Thimble Factory" (starting on page 9) and "Two: The Night Police" (starting on page 115). First Edition stated on the copyright page; no numberline; first printing assumed. C$19.99 on the back cover. Printed in Canada. Listed in Locus Magazine #680.
