5.0 out of 5 stars
Sophisticated, provocative -- a real class-act.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Between the Darkness and the Fire (Paperback)
This is a first-ever speculative fiction anthology of short works from writers on SFF Net. I found the story line-up remarkable, and the depth of the writing in every single case to be, seriously, several rungs above the standard fare in most magazine fiction. This is not a themed anthology. Rather, it is a gathering of intense thought-provoking, sometimes literary images and ideas. It's difficult to name favorites, but the piece that really stayed with me is a novelette "Dying He Dreams, Dreaming He Dies," by Jeffry Dwight, who also edited this anthology -- a compelling exploration of death. Other favorites include "Rift" by Kurt Roth, "The Dog-Faced Boy And The Amazing Winged Man" by Tippi N. Blevins, and "The Queen Of Mars" by Deborah Coates.I recommend this anthology to anyone who is interested in intelligent literary speculation, and place it on even par with Patrick Nielsen Hayden's STARLIGHT series. |
