A searing and iconoclastic crime novel in which photographer Cass Neary, introduced in the underground classic Generation Loss, finds herself drawn into the shadowy world of crime in Scandinavia's coldest corners.

First published in 2007, Generation Loss is a mesmerizing literary crime thriller from the author of A Haunting on the Hill.

On a whim, Grady Kendall applies to work as a live-in caretaker for a luxury property in Hawai?i, as far from his small-town Maine life as he can imagine. Within days he's flying out to an estate on remote Hokuloa Road, where he quickly uncovers a dark side to the island's idyllic reputation: it has long been a place where people vanish without a trace.When a young woman from his flight becomes the next to disappear, Grady is determined-and soon desperate-to figure out what's happened to Jessie, and to all those staring out of the island's "missing" posters. But working with Raina, Jessie's fiercely protective best friend, to uncover the truth is anything but easy, and with an inexplicable and sinister presence stalking his every step, Grady can only hope he'll find the answer before it's too late.Perfect for fans of Peter Heller and The White Lotus, and from award-winning writer Elizabeth Hand, a master of crime fiction known for her magnetic characters, seductive prose, and fearless excavations into the darkest corners of our world, comes a chilling and illuminating new novel about a place unlike any other-and the deadly cost of keeping it so."Set in a Hawaii so vividly imagined I'm still shaking sand out of my shoes."-Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group"Twisty and dark . . . easily one of the best thrillers I've read." -Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs"This is the perfect book for your summer beach bag-an evocative mystery set in a tropical island paradise." -Jason Rekulak, author of Hidden Pictures

The title story, 'Fire.', written especially for this volume, is a harrowing post-apocalyptic adventure in a world threatened by global conflagration. 'The Woman Men Couldn't See' is an expansion of Hand's acclaimed critical assessment of author Alice Sheldon. Another non-fiction piece, 'Beyond Belief,' recounts her difficult passage from alienated teen to serious artist. Also included are 'Kronia', a poignant time-travel romance, and 'The Saffron Gatherers', two of Hand's favourite and less familiar stories. Plus: a bibliography and an Outspoken Interview with Hand.
