realthogIan Randal Strock has just posted on SFScope a review of the recent Mike Allen anthology Clockwork Phoenix, in which I'm lucky enough to have a story. A couple of objectively selected extracts:
As Editor Mike Allen said in this interview, he was looking to put together an "offbeat literary anthology" with no theme. Specifically, he was looking for stories that came at him from "askew angles." Overall, he got what he was looking for.
[. . .]
I found John Grant's "All the Little Gods We Are" the most captivating piece in the book. While its story qua story isn't Earth-shatteringly new, the addition of a hint of parallel worlds is a good touch, and his imagery, his description of what it means to be soulmates, two halves of one whole, is absolutely wonderful.
