5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful entry in a wonderful series,
By Sean Levin (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales of the Shadowmen 6: Grand Guignol (Paperback)
I have been following the Tales of the Shadowmen anthology series for some time now, and I can safely say that these are among the best anthologies I've ever read. The sheer inventiveness shown by the many contributors is remarkable, and Grand Guignol is no exception to that rule. The ways in which various fictional heroes and villains commingle is nothing short of astonishing. Of the stories contained herein, I particularly recommend the following: "Caesar's Children" by Christopher Paul Carey, "Is He In Hell?" by my friend Win Scott Eckert, "Incident in the Boer War" by the exceptionally literate Rick Lai, "J.C. in Alphaville" by Jean-Marc Lofficier, "The Man for the Job" by Xavier Maumejean, "The Biggest Guns" by John Peel, and "The Children's Crusade" by David L. Vineyard. And while these are the ones that stood out most for me, all are fascinating, entertaining, and clever. Definitely a must-read, as with the previous five volumes!
