"A thorough and well-written work of scholarship that turns the myth of silence into a resounding yell and should be a core text for courses that teach SF ... If the Holocaust is impossible to understand except through direct experience, Morgan's book is a timely intervention to remind us that, not only should it be understood in this post-survivor age, but we have a readily available library of texts to set us on the proper path." --Fafnir: The Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy

"Readers will find this a thoughtful work, full of valuable insights about the texts discussed and a stimulus for thinking about how valuable the tools of science fiction are for imagining the unimaginable." --Science Fiction Studies

"At once theoretically sophisticated and readable, Glyn Morgan's study makes a notable contribution to the field of Holocaust literature by showing how Anglo-American speculative fiction - a genre encompassing science fiction, fantasy, and alternate history - has reflected, as well as shaped, the evolving memory of the Holocaust." --Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, Professor of History, Fairfield University, USA

"Expanding the canon and extending the debate about representation, this thoughtful, wide-ranging and critically-aware book charts new territory in our understanding both of the Holocaust and of speculative fiction." --Robert Eaglestone, Professor of Contemporary Literature and Thought, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
