Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award, this novella by Nebula finalist Jordan Kurella is a moving allegorical tale. As mankind continues to hurt the planet, leaving us with scarred lands, stories like The Death of Mountains are more meaningful than ever.
When the Death of Mountains came for us, we had been aching for a long time. There is so much loss in being a mountain; it is a terribly long time to live. Yet something awoke within us when they arrived, their face a stone skull, their hands' obsidian bones that cracked and crackled like fracking. It made us hurt to hear their earthquake step across the ground as they arrived. Their breath was like coal dust, the stuff their cloak was made from. They left a trail of oil behind them as they walked. When they spoke, their breath was hot, volcanic; it made us wither at first. We, however, are a middling hill of the Appalachians. And we have seen much worse. Far worse than death.
The Death of Mountains says, "Plundered Mountain, it's time to go."
And we say, "We are not ready, Death. We have too much yet to see."
Jordan grew up all over the world, including Moscow and Manhattan, and in his past lives was a radio DJ, photographer, and social worker. Jordan's work can be found in the magazines Reactor, Lightspeed, and Strange Horizons. His work has been nominated for the Nebula Award, the Sturgeon Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, and the L.A. Times Book Prize. It's also appeared on the Locus Recommended List and the Hugo Award Longlist.
