Ellen Klages’s short fiction spans two decades and has earned major awards in the science fiction and fantasy field. Time Gypsy (1998) was one of her earliest published stories, while In the House of the Seven Librarians (2007) and Wakulla Springs (2018) show her range across fantasy and historical fiction.
Time Gypsy is a time-travel story that established Klages’s reputation in the genre. In the House of the Seven Librarians imagines a girl raised by librarians in an abandoned public library, and it became one of her most beloved and reprinted stories. Singing on a Star (2009) adds another piece to her growing body of short work.
Wakulla Springs (2018) is a novella co-written with Andy Duncan, set at the Florida spring where Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed. It was nominated for both the Hugo and Nebula Awards. The story follows multiple generations of characters connected to the springs, blending American history with a touch of the uncanny.
