This was interesting and made me think and this is why I'm adding it here. ETA: This is a bit long. It brought up some of the anxiety I have annually when work wants me to sign the Disability Survey, the question they ask is if you have a physical or mental condition that impacts your ability t...
Anthology. As I was reading this book there seemed to be a theme of rollerskating lesbians but then I found out there were some other stories interspersed. I wonder if that was initially what the publisher were going for but then needed extra stories to fill it out. The average rating is 3.33 stars....
It's always hard to rate anthologies, and this one was particularly uneven for me -- not just because I'm not really a horror fan (not all the stories are horror, by any means). The first story, "Tasting Gomoa" confused me. A barren women, sexually frustrated and now replaced by a new younger wife, ...
Another excellent Best Of collection from Mr. Strahan. Below are my favorites. Many stories in this collection are good, but these are the best of the best. Moriabe's Children, by Paolo Bacigalupi. A beautiful story of monsters from the sea, lyrical and terrifying. Ten Rules for Being an Interga...
(I received a copy through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)4.5 stars. Usually, collections of short stories are hard for me to rate, as they always contain the good, the bad and the ugly, so to speak. This time, I can say this was a different experience. There's no story in here I didn'...
This was a beautiful story. I liked the exploration of love and ownership. I'm not sure what else to say on the theme without spoiling the story itself or sounding pretentious as all get-out. Possibly both. The characters are not necessarily the most likeable, really, but that works just fine in a...
"The stories in this collection run the gamut from Neal Gaiman's The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury to Jim Butcher's hilarious Big Foot on Campus, touching on points in between. I won't even attempt to review every story here so I'll focus on what I consider to be the true gems in this collection. The ...
For me, the best kind of anthology is a genre-specific one. I like the novelty of ideas, the variety of subjects, and the unknown factor of what's coming next. While I do enjoy themed anthologies, I find that the subject tends to wear a bit thin by the end, and I'm always left second-guessing myself...
I'm not an objective reviewer. My friend Gerri Leen's story, "Windows to the Soul," for which I was a first reader, is included in this issue. But for what it's worth, I enjoyed this greatly--more than I expected. This is a slim volume of only 152 pages, other than my friend I didn't recognize one n...
This was produced via kickstarter apparently. I didn't know that until I happened across a review, I think it was Tor.com I initially read about it. It's an Anthology that asked for submissions with a prompt of, "Roller Derby, nightclubs, glam aliens, (literal) party monsters, drugs, sex, glitter, d...
