A late arrival on my doorstep, and it’s taken much longer to finish the review than I had hoped. Note to self : faster dude, faster!

James Maxey. Silent as Dust. (The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2009)

Nicely written ghost story. Not entirely sure why it’s in an SFF anthology.

Another excellent issue.

For me the Rusch and Kilby are the pick of the issue. Sanders/Maxey/Williams are OK without breaking new ground, and Beckett’s story isn’t as impactful as the earlier story in that milieu.
