I am pasting in a link to my review from FUTURE FIRE: SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND SPECULATIVE CYBER-FICTION:http://reviews.futurefire.net/2016/08...
Some winter reading for the summer. This is a fine short story collection centred around winter. Ranging from charming to horrifying I think you'll find a few that stay with you! For me highlights were The Bothy by Su Haddrell, Sunday's Child by Fiona Clegg; Cold Hearted by GH Finn and The Coming of the Cold by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Bring a blast of winter cold into your homeI got a lot of pleasure out of this collection of frosty tales. The different voices of the authors shine through and many of the stories have sparked my imagination.A book for dipping into on dark nights by the fire when the snow swirls outside the window and the door rattles on the latch.But most of all, I love this book for the cover!
Winter Tales is an extensive selection of short stories to be told in the dark or by the flickering of candlelight, as chilly as the season they celebrate. A few are by well-known authors, but most were new to me, which is always exciting. A big shout out to Mat Joiner and Eliza Chan as to of my favourites, along with the expected tour de force from Adrian Tchaikovsky. While this isn't the strongest anthology I've read this year, there are enough intriguing tales to merit a look and get to know
A diverse collection of strange tales, all connected by their winter themes. I found that the collection on the whole skewed towards the horror end of the speculative fiction scale, which is fine, but wasn't mentioned in the blurb. Interesting tales, skillfully executed, and all within that amazing cover art.
Huddle down by the fire, for the nights are drawing in, and the clawed hand of winter is closing tightly on the land…(Ironically, I started reading this just as we got our first actually hot days of spring in this part of the world. But not to worry, because now it’s howling a gale and lashing down with rain outside, and what passes for summer in England is as close to winter as makes no difference. But I digress.)In the eons before Skyplussing and Playstation, people would while away the long w...
I have a story in this anthology, so my rating and review are excluding The Siege. I will review the rest of the anthology, and then reflect on my own contribution.Favorite Story: The Bothy by Su Haddrell I wasn't initially invested in this story, but by the ending I fist-pumped the air. It's a suspense-builder with a deliciously creepy ending.Runner-Up: Spirit of the Season by Jonathan Ward This reminded me of It Follows with a delightful holiday twist.Second Runner-Up: Cold-Hearted by G.H. Fin...
I won this book through Goodreads First ReadsThank You, Margrét Helgadóttir, for sending me the free copy of the book********When I received this book I was thinking that I had a little problem.This was the beginning of a hot summer, and there was no correlation between the frozen worlds of the book and the sweltering world outside it.No snow, no frost, not even the crackling fireplace to fully submerge myself in the different realm of winter. But somehow, believe it or not, once I began to read...
