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.

"I'll give myself twenty lashes if they are."

Oh, no, let me help! I've got a Wal*Mart S&M Bondage Kit somewhere.

You have a debauched mind, P. I was talking about false eyelashes. I will reward myself with false eyelashes if I'm right.

You writers are a sick bunch of weirdos, editors even more so . . . ;)

"I will reward myself with false eyelashes if I'm right."

Unfortunately you'll have no way of knowing until next February, I think it is, when Des divulges the information.

Getting whipped with false eyelashes is not something that happens anywhere within my extensive collection of John Norman books.

You would need to inhabit Southern California for at least ten years to even begin to understand the fine art of false eyelash whipping.
