Doris Piserchia’s standalone novels cover a lot of ground within science fiction. Star Rider sends its heroine across dimensions on a telepathic horse. A Billion Days of Earth tracks evolution on a far-future planet. The Spinner involves a world wrapped in a web by a mysterious creature. Each book takes a single strange idea and runs with it, rarely pausing for the kind of worldbuilding exposition that slows down other SF writers.

Published across a decade, these twelve novels range from the space-faring Star Rider to the horror-tinged Blood County. Piserchia wrote quickly and published prolifically during her active years, and the variety of her output reflects that energy. Most of these titles are out of print but can be found in used bookstores and online sellers.
