Los Angeles: Scream/Press, 1989. Octavo, cloth. First edition. One of 250 copies signed by Shirley and the artist Harry O. Morris. Collects nineteen stories, three first published here, with introduction by William Gibson. Compiled, with foreword, by Stephen P. Brown. "A mixed collection of reprint and original science fiction, horror, and surrealism, by one of the genre's more radical innovators and a cofounder of the cyberpunk movement. Particularly powerful are the very dark new story 'Equilibrium' and the stunning cyberpunk tale, 'Wolves of the Plateau.' Few writers are capable of getting away with so much over-the top craziness" - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1010. "HEATSEEKER is a deadly powerful collection of dark parables by a man who was writing the stylized naturalism of the future before it became fashionable. John Shirley's prophet-in-the-cyber-wilderness voice deserves high billing among the best. He will be remembered." - Roger Zelazny. [Reference: Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-405].

Shingletown, CA: Mark V. Ziesing, 1991. Octavo, cloth. First edition. One of 400 numbered copies signed by Shirley and Arnie Fenner, the artist. Horror novel involving a serial killer. "... arguably the most successful of Shirley's horror novels, combines many of the spiritual and supernatural elements of CITY COME A-WALKIN' and CELLARS in a modern-day work of explicit horror. Here Shirley mixes a fully-formed splatterpunk ethic with a semi-erotic element." - Pringle (ed), St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers, pp. 532.
