Here are some comments on various stories in the issue:
yendi's blog
Anna Tambour is in the issue and wrote me privately what I asked her to post in her blog.
Anna Tambour
Not if you were the last story on earth
And from one of those who won the issue on this blog--thanks:
radiant fracture
A. Nakama's blog
Nick Gever reviewed the issue in the current Locus, picking Lisa Tuttle's "Old Mr Boudreaux" and Jeffrey Ford's "Under the Bottom of the Lake" for his best of the month --I think that he chose Lucius's "Vacancy" for the same when it was originally published on the Subterranean website a few months ago.
In the Locus review he says:
"Jeffrey Ford works characteristic oneiric wonders in "Under the Bottom of the Sea," a subtle serpentine fabulation.... A bewitching confection...."
"Tuttle's portrait ("Old Mr. Boudreaux") of an aging mansion in the heart of suburban Houston, its grounds poisoned reminder of a now otherwise built-over landscape is splendid...."
About "Holiday" by M. Rickert: "Uneasy, edgy storytelling, this, another demonstration of Rickert's preternaturlaly acute understanding of controversial social issues."
About Terry Bisson's "Pirates of the Somali Coast": "a vitriolic condemnation of the trivialization of violent death inherent in contemporary children's entertainment."
Quote from cassiphone at Not if You Were the Last Story on Earth:
"The Jeweller of Second-Hand Roe," by Anna Tambour, Subterranean #7 - one of Tambour's classic gorgeous-weird storie, this one with s strong (and somewhat pungent) historical flavour."
