Over at http://thisplacehere.livejournal.com/660thisplacehere (David Hebblethwaite) has suddenly popped up with a review of my 2004 story collection Take No Prisoners. I quote in part:
And what do I think of Take No Prisoners? Absolutely loved it. Grant writes fantasy in the broadest sense: in this book, you'll find tales of high fantasy; fantasy that looks like science fiction (which, the author has argued, is really a subset of fantasy anway); comic stories; and fantasy based in the contemporary world (or versions thereof). In all this variety, the main characteristics of Grant's work are, perhaps, an ear for -- and facility with -- language; and an eagerness to turn reality (and the conventions of fantasy) on its head.
I am, naturally, very pleased about this!
