speaking of DON'T READ THIS BOOK, Dorkadia sez:
"I hate to apply “clever” as praise too often – it’s easy for it to come across as dismissive, like the follow-up “little” is lurking around the corner – but it’s one of the first things to leap to mind for the contributions from Greg Stolze and Laura Anne Gilman. Stolze’s “Don’t Harsh Your Buzz” is a well-framed fencing match between a human Awake (as the emigrants from the waking world are called) and an anthropomorphic nightmare, while in “Don’t Toot Your Horn” Gilman tells the story of a drifting jazz musician with the scattershot phrasing and odd timing beats of the protagonist’s own trombone playing."
And then they go on to say nice things about the rest of the anthology, too. http://www.dorkadia.com/2012/11/26/dont-read-this-book/
I m especially pleased because I sweated over that story, to get the phrasing and beats down right. *grin*
So, ya know, if you like clever dark fiction, or know someone who wants exactly that for the holidays... there's your shopping, sorted. Yer welcome. :-)
