Click here to read my full review at Signal Horizon Great artwork and 190 pages of great stories, what more is there to love? Here are some highlights: "O King of Pain and Splendor!" by Darrell Schweitzer. For this one it is hard to pin down a genre, although fantasy probably seems most appropriate. "O King of Pain and Splendor" has a much more mythic feel than most fantasy works and has a non-western feel to boot. You won't find any heroes meeting up at a tavern to go on a Campbellesque journey...
Another winner with a wide selection of weird to choose from. In no particular order, my three favorites were:"O King of Pain and Splendor!" by Darrell Schweitzer, a haunting myth of kings gods, and sorcerey.The chilling tale, "Abomination is Her Name" by J.N. Cameron, is creepily delicious!"Kachina" by Kenneth Bykerk drew me right in and kept firm hold all the way to the end.Looking forward to the next issue!
Some good, some mediocre, and some brilliant— that's how I would like to sum up the reading experience of this volume. The poems were beyond me, so I would refrain from commenting upon them. Among the prose-pieces, I cherished the following~1. Michael Bracken's 'Harlot Road'2. Adrian Cole's Nick Nightmare story 'You'd do it For Diamonds'3. C.I. Kemp's 'She Who Gives Life'4. Sharon Cullars' 'Night of the Circus'5. Scott Harper's 'Death is Not My Master'Most of the rest was OK, i.e. once readable....
In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that I have a poem in this issue, though I would recommend it highly even if that were not the case. This is yet another collection of great fantasy and horror stories and poetry (not to mention the artwork). Actually I think it might be my favorite issue so far.
