Cone Zero reviewed


D.F. Lewis's anthology Cone Zero, in which I have a story, has been reviewed by David Hebblethwaite ([profile] thisplacehere) over on the Serendipity site. His conclusion:

What difference does it make not knowing who wrote which of these stories? Speaking personally, I'm not sure, because I'm unfamiliar with the work of all the listed authors (bar one) anyway. However, the stories in the book are what really count, and... Well, I'm usually wary of saying things like this, but I expect to see Cone Zero on the lists of this year's best anthologies. It will richly deserve any such place.

Did you catch one writer's use of "irregardless"?

No, I missed that completely. Generally, I'm hopeless at spotting typos and so on in books -- so, if I do start noticing them, I often start thinking they must be a pronounced problem in that particular text.

Paul is also the only writer in Cone Zero whose work I'm familiar with, so no more author-spotting for me, either.

Agreed on 'Oswald Masters', it's very amusing.
