A long review by David Hebblethwaite of my anthology New Writings in the Fantastic (Pendragon Press) has appeared in the webzine Serendipity at http://www.magicalrealism.co.uk:80/view.php?story=22. The conclusion reads:
It struck me while I was reading New Writings in the Fantastic that an anthology is very much a personal vision, even though it's built from the work of many hands (I knew this implicitly already, but that didn't lessen the impact); and, arguably, the more personal that vision, the better. John Grant has succeeded in showcasing a diverse range of work and demonstrating the power of fantastic fiction; but his personal vision for the anthology is also clear, and the book is all the more valuable for that.
The review as a whole makes excellent reading. In fact, I think I may have to go and read it again right away . . .
