Elizabeth Hand is the bestselling author of thirteen genre-spanning novels and four collections of short fiction.

Her recent, critically acclaimed novels featuring Cass Neary, “one of literature’s great noir anti-heroes” [Katherine Dunn] — Generation Loss, Available Dark, and Hard Light — have been compared to those of Patricia Highsmith.

She is a longtime reviewer and critic for the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Salon, among many others, and writes a regular book review column for the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
