Apr 17, 2009 K. Axel rated it 3 of 5 stars Recommends it for: sci-fi and horror fans

Shelves: anthologies, sci-fi, partial-review, fantasy

Originally I had this shortstory collection marked down as fantasy, but that was pure ignorance, because I hadn't yet read it.

It's not fantasy! It's science fiction... and its excellent!

Lots of amazing stories here, like the one about the old warmonger returning to earth, only to find it completely changed, so changed that he himself has to change in order to see it again... a truely horrific and sad tale...
