more Inferno

[realthog]

Ellen Datlow's anthology Inferno, which came out just before Christmas, has received yet another nice review, this time by Colin Harvey on the suite101 website. You can see the whole of it at http://scififantasyfiction.suite101.com:80/article.cfm/inferno_edited_by_ellen_datlow; the last paragraph reads thus:

But the very best of the many fine stories in Inferno are by lesser-known writers; ‘Lives,’ by John Grant, for its original revisiting of an old theme, Lee Thomas’ ‘An Apiary of White Bees,’ for its disturbing conflation of pain and pleasure, and ‘The Janus Tree,’ Glen Hirschberg’s acute portrayal of teenage love, pain and possession in a dying Montana mining town. But the very best story in the collection, if good fiction makes the reader look at the world slightly differently, is ‘Stilled Lives,’ by Pat Cadigan, which tells an eerie story of street performers, their hidden lives, and the statuary of London; it’s the outstanding story in an outstanding anthology.
