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.

"would you feel more comfortable over all this blather about Cone Zero if I deleted some of my comments?"

Oh, dearest J: Thanks for the thoughtfulness, but really I'm quite happy for them to stay the way they are!

Besides, I want you to be able to reread them in a few months' time . . .

Oh, so now you want me to suffer, do you?

In a few months time I will feel like that lowliest of creatures, the critic, pompous and uninformed. ;)
