reviewed: Clockwork Phoenix

[realthog]

 
Mike Allen's (time_shark) anthology Clockwork Phoenix (published by Norilana Books; norilanabooks), in which I'm lucky enough to have a story, has been reviewed very favourably indeed in this week's Publishers Weekly (http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6559019.html). The review reads in part:

Author and editor Allen (Mythic) has compiled a neatly packaged set of short stories that flow cleverly and seamlessly from one inspiration to another. . . . In “All the Little Gods We Are,” Hugo winner John Grant takes a mind trip to possible parallel universes. . . . Lush descriptions and exotic imagery startle, engross, chill and electrify the reader, and all 19 stories have a strong and delicious taste of weird.

As Arthur Schopenhauer might have put it: Yahey!

That's wonderful. Congrats on the mention, too!

Yep, you bet I was pleased about the mention -- but even pleaseder with it being in the context of such distinguished company and such a yummy review!

Ooh, nice!

Oddly enough, that was more or less what I said myself!

Oooh, can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

The book's coming in July, although I'm not sure when in July.

Readercon rollout?

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Is my guess too.
