Kit Reed woke up one morning with an amazing pitch line for her mysterious new novel WHERE. "Everybody on Kraven Island is gone. Even they don't know where." This from a self-proclaimed "trans-genred" writer, translation: "I don't belong anywhere." Her work covers the waterfront-- comic novels, SF, psychothrillers, psychological, i.e. character-driven fiction, you name it. She's been there.WHERE follows two distinguished 2013 publications, THE STORY UNTIL NOW, a Shirley Jackson award nominee from the Wesleyan University Press, and her novel SON OF DESTRUCTION, from Severn House, titles praised in Financial Times, The Guardian, Wall Street Journal and in the New York Times Book Review, Chelsea Cain writes, "Reed finds humanity in the most fantastic places. She does it without pretension. And she does it with a sense of humor and no apologies. In my Museum of American Writers, I'd have a statue of Kit Reed in the lobby..."In Vanity Fair, Elissa Schappell wrote: "The Story Until Now unleashes new and classic stories fired by a radiant imagination."And Reed? She writes: "Success is when you're still standing up at the end."Her collection What Wolves Know from PS Publishing UK was also a Shirley Jackson Award nominee. Called "a gripping dystopian thriller" in a starred review in Publishers Weekly, Reed's novels, Enclave, The Baby Merchant and Thinner Than Thou, a winner of the A.L.A. Alex Award, and her collection, Dogs of Truth, are available in trade paperback and on Kindle and other online platforms. The New York Times Book Review has this to say about her work: "Most of these stories shine with the incisive edginess of brilliant cartoons... they are less fantastic than visionary." Other novels include @​expectations, Captain Grownup, Fort Privilege, Catholic Girls, J. Eden and Little Sisters of the Apocalypse. She's had stories in, among others, The Yale Review, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Omni and The Norton Anthology of Contemporary Literature. Her books Weird Women, Wired Women and Little Sisters of the Apocalypse were finalists for the Tiptree Prize.A member of the board of the Authors League Fund and a longtime member of the National Book critics Circle and PEN, she serves as Resident Writer at Wesleyan University.http://www.kitreed.net

hs This collection is not as good as the previous collection, though it does have slightly more international feel (several stories are translations). Despite the title, there is more than Greek mythology in play here as well. Perhaps because it is sadder, the term that Bernheimer us...

This anthology is worth reading for Jim Butcher's Curses, Ellen Kushner's Duke of Riverside, Patricia Briggs' Fairy Gifts, and Melissa Marr's Guns for the Dead. Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy begins strong with a Dresden Files short story, but readers should be forewarned that many of the shor...

(I got a copy of this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)3.5 stars for this collection of 27 stories, some of which are funny and grotesque, some others dark and disturbing.Strangely, I didn't feel that much of a connection with a lot of those. Maybe I've become picky after a few...

As we pass the halfway mark of the year, we find the first of the new 'best of' anthologies flooding the market. Currently I have 4 monster tomes that I've been reading through, jumping around between favorite authors and intriguing titles. I'm not one to read an anthology from cover-to-cover, but I...
