It won the prestigious British Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction, and he went on to win the award again the next year. In a career that has now spanned three decades he has written nearly 100 short stories, published more than a dozen best-selling novels around the world, and scripted numerous movie and television projects.Now, to celebrate his three decades as a writer, The Best of Michael Marshall Smith brings together thirty of his most emotive and powerful stories (including all his award-winning short fiction), along with extensive story notes by the author.Featuring evocative heading illustrations by Les Edwards, this career-spanning collection includes such memorable tales as "Hell Hath Enlarged Itself," "More Tomorrow," "To Receive is Better," "What You Make It," "Later," "The Dark Land," "What Happens When You Wake Up in the Night," "Always," and many others, in their definitive versions.By turns touching, disturbing, and frightening, these stories are not limited by theme or genre, but reveal a writer always in command, and whose imagination knows no bounds. The Best of Michael Marshall Smith is the ultimate compilation of the author's work, and stands as a testament to his mastery of, and commitment to, his craft.
