Why read it?
1 author picked The Downstairs Room and Other Speculative Fiction as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Wilhelm is credited with having the best writing that inhabits “speculative fiction” (Robert Heinlein's coined term in 1947). I agree with that wholeheartedly, even though many others have contributed. She has dozens of novels, including mystery, suspense, and speculative sci-fi, but start with this book. Each story is unique and they don't actually connect in any way except that she put them all into this book, so I can't summarize them. Please read them all: every single one is a gem and an amazing example of great sci-fi writing.
From Sally's list on speculative fiction authors every sci fi author needs to read.
