Cat Rambo’s collections bring together her short speculative fiction, which spans science fiction, fantasy, and genre-blending literary stories. The Surgeon’s Tale and Other Stories (2007) was her first collection, followed by Eyes Like Sky and Coal and Moonlight (2009) and Near + Far (2012), which sorted stories by setting.
Neither Here Nor There (2016) and Altered America (2016) continued the pattern of themed collections. Rambo’s short fiction has been nominated for the Nebula Award multiple times, and she served as president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
