Description

“Prayers to a Broken Stone” is Simmons’ first collection. It’s the first—and very important—one for understanding his work. Among the stories in the collection, you can find several that gave the first shoots to later, much more famous and well-known novels. It also includes his debut story, which won a literary contest in a university writing circle and received the approval of Harlan Ellison himself...
