My top two favorites remain "Braiding the Ghosts," by C.S.E. Cooney (which wins for most imaginative spells, most appealing heroine, and an unusual and satisfying story) and "Murder in Metachronopolis," by John C. Wright (which wins for its great use of nonlinear storytelling, which manages to be both complex and perfectly comprehensible), and the one that made me ache because I wish I had written it--wish I was capable of writing like that--was "Crow Voodoo," by Georgina Bruce. Full disclosure: I did copyedit one story in this anthology--but it's not one of the three I mentioned here. ( ) I enjoyed these stories tremendously.

"Allen's third volume of extraordinary short stories reaches new heights of rarity and wonder . . . Without a wrong note, all the stories in this anthology admirably fulfill Allen's promise of 'beauty and strangeness.'" -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Story cavorts with style. The result is a cornucopia of modern cutting-edge fantasy. The third volume of this extraordinary annual anthology series of fantastic literature dares to surpass the first two, with works that sidestep expectations in beautiful and unsettling ways, that surprise with their settings and startle with the manner in which they cross genre boundaries, that aren't afraid to experiment with storytelling techniques, and yet seamlessly blend form with meaningful function. The effervescent offerings found within these pages come from some of today's most distinguished contemporary fantasists and brilliant rising newcomers. Whether it's a touch of literary erudition, playful whimsy, extravagant style, or mind-blowing philosophical speculation and insight, the reader will be led into unfamiliar territory, there to find shock and delight. Presenting Clockwork Phoenix 3. Includes stories by Marie Brennan, Tori Truslow, Georgina Bruce, Michael M. Jones, Gemma Files, Shweta Narayan, Cat Rambo, Nicole Kornher-Stace, C.S.E. Cooney, S.J. Hirons, Gregory Frost, Kenneth Schneyer, John C. Wright, John Grant, and Tanith Lee. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
