In Shadow Bones, Memmott pursues vectors that glance through sci-fi and fantasy into other magical and imaginative spaces, never ceasing to pose the central ontological question: 'What does it mean to be human?' From the residual memory of clones to a grandfather teaching his grandson to fish for the moon, these unique stories manage to entertain while quietly eschewing the snug comforts of genre. A promising fictional debut.

For David Memmott, Speculative Northwest's secret weapon, reality in our Age of Rust and Robots is about as stable as one of those particles in what's left of a Chernobyl core: always on the verge of shimmering into something that will take your breath away with its mythic resonance, wise magic, and compassionate imaginative fire. On into the unknown!
