I can't quote the whole thing but here are some highlights:
Ballingrud's "The Monsters of Heaven" is a ferocious, uncompromising story about a man's relationship with his wife and son, which also involves angels....
Stories by Laird Barron, Mike O'Driscoll, Lucius Shepard, Conrad Williams, and Jeffrey Ford provide further evidence for Inferno being one of the best horror anthologies since the classic Prime Evil.
This will be out in the May issue.

Re: "The Monsters of Heaven"
I completely agree about with what everyone is saying about that story...it was far and away my favorite of all the ones in INFERNO. I thought that the story was powerful to me because I'm the new father of a 7 month old boy, but it seems to be hitting home with lots of people. I thought the relationship between the husband and wife was particularly well drawn and quite painful to examine -- the appearance of the "monsters" of the title was just the perfect little surreal snap that really informed the situation in a surreal way, took the story into the realm of the fantastic and made it truly great.
