The following review appeared in The Peterbrough Examiner in December, 2005. It was reprinted in The New York Revioew of Science Fiction in January, 2006. One of the things I like about GoodReads is it provides a second or third home for my reviews. They're quite time consuming to enter, though, and I have a feeling I might not get to them all.

An excellent anthology--the stories were quite varied, yet unfailingly interesting and entertaining. There's quite a bit of humor as well. As someone who very rarely enjoys every single inclusion in an anthology, this was a welcome exception.
could have been better, but I respect Nalo'd work, even as editor.
