SF Site and this one interestingly contrasts the different opinions on several of the stories.


Hellnotes ending with the kind of silly (IMHO) observation:
"It is interesting to note, though, that none of these recent writings can compare with a work of another master, and his take on Edgar Allan Poe: Granted, it’s a ridiculously hard act to follow, but Robert Bloch’s “The Man Who Collected Poe” surpasses anything in this compilation."

Btw, my lj format has just gone wonky on me...anyone else? I think the html went away--or something--anyone have the same problem?
And the photo of Bella, my icon, is gone.

Fixed!

So Many Destinations

She also quotes Catherynne Valente on her new fantasy Palimpsest.
