Infern08
I now at last have in my hot-handed possession a copy of the new Ellen Datlow anthology Inferno, and a mighty fine and handsome tome it is -- this in spite of its containing a story by me.
Also safely arrived is the latest review of the book, this time by reviewer Rod Lott in the webzine Bookgasm (http://www.bookgasm.com:80/reviews/horror/inferno-new-tales-of-terror-and-the-supernatural/). The relevant bits read:
Equally as creepy [as Chris Fowler's "The Uninvited", which this reviewer hails as "the showpiece of Inferno"] is “Lives,” from John Grant, in which a child inexplicably has a knack for surviving tragedy after tragedy. Ironically, doing so rips his family apart. . . . More established masters [might] have elevated [Inferno], but its bold choice to give ink to even bolder new voices will pay off both now and in the long run.
