Inferno's very first review!!!!!

And I'm very relieved and pleased with it:

From Green Man Review:
Inferno review

And raves about stories not mentioned above by cassiphone from the blog
Not if You Were the Last Short Story on Earth

"Inelastic Collisions," by Elizabeth Bear - Inferno - A creepy, sticky, greasy story about hungry grrls. Beautifully executed; every word counts for something.

"Lives," by John Grant, Inferno - a chilling story about a man's growing realisation about his son's ability to survive (or cause?) so many horrible disasters.

"The Ease with Which we Freed the Beast," by Lucius Shepard, Inferno - a deeply disturbing story about cold-hearted violence and disaffected youth, that just gets more horrible the deeper in you get. Not one to read late at night.

She also mentions two very good stories in Subterranean #6 (not my issue) William Browning Spencer's excellent story "The Tenth Muse" and Cherie Priest's "Finding Piper."

I hope all your reviews are so positive & motivating. Very much makes me want to read your introduction, too.

Thanks, Karen--Me too!!!
The introduction is just an introduction --not like Terri's very erudite ones for our co-editing books. :-)
