Her fluency among the modes of the modern was remarkable [all her titles are therefore given in the Checklist below]. She wrote one horror novel, <i>Blood Fever</i> (<b>1986</b>), as by Shelley Hyde, and three detections – <i>Gone</i> (<b>1992</b>), <i>Twice Burned</i> (<b>1993</b>) and <i>Strait</i> (<b>1995</b>) – as by Kit Craig. </p> <p>Reed began publishing stories of genre interest with "The Wait" in <i>The</i> <a href="/entry/fsf">Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction</a> for April 1958, afterwards publishing her sf and fantasy mainly with that journal. After some non-genre novels, Reed began to assemble short stories of genre interest in <i>Mister da V. and Other Stories</i> (coll <b>1967</b>), where her first tale appeared under its better known vt, "To Be Taken in a Strange Country". Later collections include <i>The Killer Mice</i> (coll <b>1976</b>), <i>Other Stories And ... The Attack of the Giant Baby</i> (coll <b>1981</b>), <i>Revenge of the Senior Citizens ** Plus: A Short Story Collection</i> (coll <b>1986</b>), <i>Thief of Lives</i> (coll <b>1992</b>), <i>Weird Women, Wired Women</i> (coll <b>1998</b>), <i>Seven for the Apocalypse</i> (coll <b>1999</b>), <i>Dogs of Truth: New and Uncollected Stories</i> (coll <b>2005</b>) and the comprehensive <i>The Story Until Now: A Great Big Book of Stories</i> (coll <b>2013</b>), which contains much of her best-known work, emphasizing <a href="/entry/satire">Satirical</a> takes on the American century. The last collection reinforces a sense that her most significant achievement in the fields of the fantastic is probably her large body of short work. It could be said, unkindly, that her stories domesticate the world of Shirley <a href="/entry/jackson_shirley">Jackson</a>; but that would be unduly to deprecate the sharp, clear, self-amused perceptiveness of her best moral fables, often closer to fantasy than sf as they make their uncomfortable points with precision and delicacy; and it would scant the consistent high quality of her work over half a century, over which period she has explored with subtlety and deceptively quiet verve the varieties of <a href="/entry/paranoia">Paranoia</a> that do much to delineate our condition.</p> <p>Much of Reed's longer fiction, beginning with her first novel, <i>Mother Isn't Dead She's Only Sleeping</i> (<b>1961</b>), hovers as noted above between the fantastic and the associational; her first sf novel, <i>Armed Camps</i> (<b>1969</b>), posits a <a href="/entry/near_future">Near-Future</a> USA sliding into irretrievable collapse; neither the soldier nor the woman pacifist who share the narrative, nor what they represent, are seen as representing any solution. <i>Magic Time</i> (<b>1980</b>), less effective because of its chatty plot, treats America as analogous to a grotesque <a href="/entry/theme_parks">Theme Park</a>, posthumously run by a Walt Disney-like guru [for Disney see <i>The</i> <a href="/entry/encyclopedia_of_fantasy_the">Encyclopedia of Fantasy</a> under <b>links</b> below] in cold storage in an <a href="/entry/underground">Underground</a> <a href="/entry/keep">Keep</a> from which he aspires to direct the future; the novel itself, which is full of filmscript directions, is also a <a href="/entry/satire">Satire</a> of the kind of <a href="/entry/california">California</a> boosted in Disney films (see The <a href="/entry/walt_disney_company_the">Walt Disney Company</a>). <i>Fort Privilege</i> (<b>1985</b>) more convincingly transforms into moral fable a tale set in an expensive <a href="/entry/new_york">New York</a> apartment building or <a href="/entry/keep">Keep</a> under siege from the innumerable homeless of the great city; <i>Little Sisters of the Apocalypse</i> (<b>1994</b>) similarly examines the lives of a group of women besieged – in a world tainted by violence and social disintegration – by conflicting gangs of marauders;as world <a href="/entry/disaster">Disaster</a> nears, they form themselves into a motorcycle gang. </p> <p><i>@expectations</i> (<b>2000</b>), though essentially non-fantastic, intriguingly explores the interface between the <a href="/entry/internet">Internet</a> and delusion. <i>The Baby Merchant</i> (<b>2006</b>) is a <a href="/entry/near_future">Near Future</a> thriller about a man who steals babies. <i>Where</i> (<b>2015</b>) again utilizes a story structure long typical of her work, tales like <i>Fort Privilege</i> (above) or <i>The Night Children</i> (<b>2008</b>) where, with a remorselessness evocative of the <a href="/entry/thought_experiment">Thought Experiment</a> characters and communities are forcibly isolated from the world at large; in <i>Where</i> the population of a small village finds itself in something like a rural prison, or perhaps a <a href="/entry/virtual_reality">Virtual Reality</a> version of this sort of constrained space. Her last novel, <i>Mormama</i> (<b>2017</b>), is a fantasy featuring a protagonist with <a href="/entry/amnesia">Amnesia</a>. In tales such as most of these, along with her shorter fiction, her apparent reticence is overpoweringly deceptive; Reed is, at her best, stealthily, an explosive writer.
