This review is from: Sybil's Garage No. 7 (Paperback)

Beautifully designed and printed as always, Sybil's Garage which has been one of the best small press speculative fiction journals, graduates to anthology status.

With 195 pages of fiction, poetry and graphics this is a substantial book. Another reader would make different choices, might perhaps have more appreciation for the poetry. My favorites among the 18 short stories were M.K Hobson "Kid Despair in Love" with its not terribly distant corporate warfare, Sam Ferree's take on Charon and the River Styx, "The Ferryman's Toll," Kelly Barnhill's contemporary poete maudit "The Dead Boy's Last Poem", Eugene Myers' "My Father's Eyes" about a young man's search for a father gone very native indeed and "The Noise" by Richard Larson about the life and loves of an East Village zombie. These and the other fiction and poetry are getting attention and deserve more.
