The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, October/November 2008
Albert E. Cowdrey. Inside Story. Retired Detective Sergeant Alphonse Fournet finds the lure of work,
Otherworldly Maine. ed Noreen Doyle, Down East 2008
The collection successfully brings together a litte bit of sf, a lot of speculative fiction, fantasy, horror and thrillers, but which all work together and which don’t leap out as being stories of that ilk, but simply good stories with a shared setting.
Wastelands – Stories of the Apocalypse ed John Joseph Adams. Night Shade Books, 2008.
This is a very strong collection. Adams has trawled 25 years worth of high quality SF to put together the volume, and there’s an awful lot of good reading to be had.
