SUBSTRATE PHANTOMS
Available from Resurrection House Books, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo—or ask for it at your library or local book store.
"Substrate Phantoms is beautifully written and richly imagined, with themes and imagery that remind me of Samuel R.
Delany's Babel-17. It's a lovely book; I hope we'll see more of this universe and these characters."
—Judith Tarr, award winning author of Forgotten Suns
"An out-and-out breakthrough, with mystical and sociological roots trailing back to
Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End and Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness.
Indeed, true aficionados of humane hard SF will applaud Ms. Reisman for bequeathing them this beautiful tale of a heretofore uncreated
tomorrow."
—Michael Bishop, author of A Funeral for the Eyes of Fire
"A deep dive into prose-poetry sci-fi and mind-stretching mystery." — Kirkus Reviews
