AP's story was indeed excellent....very visceral...and I'm excited to hear that he's nominated for an award. He deserves it.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346285975812027797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13008741.post-70648087746290482262007-06-07T17:09:00.000-05:002007-06-07T17:09:00.000-05:00Michelle:Thanks for the review.

LOL. <BR/><BR/>As with most readers, I would expect everyone to find their favorites. I have yet to encounter an anthology where I liked every piece. Those gems make it worth while, though. <BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for your support.Daniel I Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895202139305313413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13008741.post-48109724466483592982007-06-07T06:26:00.000-05:002007-06-07T06:26:00.000-05:00Enjoyed your review, Michelle. :-)Enjoyed your review, Michelle. :-)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289998935196498926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13008741.post-62551852208420697732007-06-06T05:44:00.000-05:002007-06-06T05:44:00.000-05:00Whether by subgenre, style or personal preference,...Whether by subgenre, style or personal preference, reviewers agree that there's something in here to grab everyone.<BR/><BR/>My bag is Biblical sci-fi, so I know the vale of reviews from spec-fic sub-genre fans & writers.

It has (along with a couple of others) been recommended for a Bram Stoker short story (long fiction) award--and very deserving it is.<BR/><BR/>--cyncynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514785429568086047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13008741.post-2833510622305514302007-06-05T20:18:00.000-05:002007-06-05T20:18:00.000-05:00Interesting take on the anthology, Michelle.

But it's worthwhile to mention some of the really great stories, such as "Frozen Generation" and "The Edge of Water." As for the "just meh" stories, there weren't that many, and besides, that's just meh. (Incorrectly spelled, too.) <BR/><BR/>SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793038831644847951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13008741.post-61146262240551819822007-06-05T15:09:00.000-05:002007-06-05T15:09:00.000-05:00Just cruising through.

I also agree on your view of "prairie romances." However, that was more a style issue than a qualtiy of writing issue. <BR/><BR/>I really liked the book and have found some stories have stuck wtih me. With so many stories and so much variety, there was plenty to recommend.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>KarinaKarina Fabianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937791512486438983noreply@blogger.com
