Good review of the book here: http://www.theharrow.com/journal/index.php?journal=journal&page=article&op=view& path[]=2885&path[]=887

Nice to see the Strantzas story singled out, because it's terrific. And no, that's not me patting my mate on the back; I genuinely liked the tale.

...and Joel's tale is "absolutely outstanding" too.

I'd rather have you pat me on the front anyway.

I'm currently reading this and I'm enjoying it immensely, although I'm only at the Reggie Oliver point s far.

Excellent work from all concerned.

Is that grate as in light a fire on it or shred your cheese? I'm sure you've mis-spelt the word.

Hmm. Could someone help me out with the correct protocol here? Am I supposed to be threatning to kill a cat now or something? Cos I'm really too busy . . .

I agree, though. Best anthology I read last year.

Protocol: shrug, smile, move on.

It wasn't that bad a joke was it?

Absolutely, Zed. Spot on. I did do a "scratch head puzzedly at 'surrealist piece' " as I thought it was a fantasy piece, but I'm only further baffled by why someone would go to such lengths as that bloke did about his story, death threats and the rest. Plank.
