what's this? *another* review of New Writings in the Fantastic?

Yes, folx, and this time it's the Featured Review at SF Site. Reviewer Mario Guslandi concludes:

The material crammed in the book is so various and the amount of fiction so huge that everyone will find something suiting his/her taste. And that's exactly what a good anthology is supposed to provide.

You can glory in the complete review at http://www.sfsite.com:80/12a/nw261.htm.

Congratulations! That must really feel good, to keep encountering positive reviews. I have to say it looks like a very tasty book.

Thanks! What makes these reviews especially satisfying is that . . . well, there's a long backstory that one day either hutch0 or I will tell you at gruesome length.

"a very tasty book"

Especially when spread with peanut butter.

Selkie knows the story. And its length was gruesome indeed.

So to speak.

The other cheering thing is that, as I may have said before, each of the reviewers so far has had a different list of favourites among the stories, with almost zero overlap. I find that more than a little pleasing: if everyone had liked the same half-dozen items I'd've felt I hadn't done my job properly!
