Join us for an afternoon with award-winning author Michael Blumlein.

Varying widely in theme and subject matter, the stories in All I Ever Dreamed showcase the breadth and power of Michael Blumlein’s vision and once again reveal him to be one of the most original and fascinating of contemporary writers. They are stories that skirt the boundaries of fantasy, science fiction and horror, existing in a genre uniquely the author’s own. This volume brings together all the short fiction published by Blumlein in the three decades since the original appearance of his award-winning collection The Brains of Rats (1989), including two stories published here in book form for the first time.

Michael Blumlein is the author of four novels and three story collections, including the award-winning The Brains of Rats. His most recent publications, both in 2018 are: All I Ever Dreamed, containing three decades worth of fiction, and Thoreau’s Microscope, part of PM Press’ celebrated “Outspoken Authors” series. He has twice been a finalist for the World Fantasy Award and twice for the Bram Stoker. He has been short-listed for the Tiptree. The Brains of Rats was awarded Best Collection of the Year. He has written for both stage and film, including the award-winning independent film Decodings. His novel X,Y was made into a feature-length movie. Until his recent retirement Dr. Blumlein taught and practiced medicine at the University of California in San Francisco.
