In this impressive collection, rising talent Scott William Carter
showcases his considerable storytelling skills, taking readers on
thrilling journeys that stretch the imagination and expand the laws of
what is possible. Within these eighteen tales of wonder and magic,
readers will experience a gamut of emotions, as Carter plumbs the depths of love and fear and the rest of the umbrella of the human psyche,
always with one eye toward spinning yarns that will leave readers well
satisfied and more than a little thoughtful. Whether his words lead to
the edges of known space, to the fringes of understood time, or the
wholesomeness of an American farm, time and again readers will find
themselves encountering places and experiences that transcend the mere
expected and delight the soul.
"THE DINOSAUR DIARIES marks a
collection not to be missed. Scott is one of those rare writers who can
and does cross genres, and do it well. You never know what kind of story you'll get from him, but you do know that it'll be good." – Kristine
Kathryn Rusch, Hugo-award winning author and editor
