Reviews

[Odhran · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is excellent. Fact.

While not all of the stories are as punchy as andrew j. offutt's "For Value Received", or as stylistically interesting as Ross Rocklynne's "Ching Witch", everything in here is worthy of reading, even Ray Bradbury's poem. (And coming from a non-fan of poetry, that's saying something.) A forty-year-old anthology of short stories is more interesting, and more daring, than the majority of stuff I read and watch today. It's easy to see how the original volume, Dangerous Visions, was so influential.
