The Secret Is Out
his cartoon monocle." -io9 "A compelling collection...very unique and thought provoking." -Sacramento Book Review "All I really want to do, at the moment, is embrace the unsuspecting editors in a massive, spine-crunching bear hug" -Ed Park, LA Times Praise for Feeling Very Strange: The Slipstream Anthology Oh, these stories!... Don't stop until all have been read. -Booklist, starred review Is slipstream just science fiction and fantasy that doesn't know that it's science fiction or fantasy? Or is it more than that? Decide for yourself by slipping into short stories that are superb, whatever you choose to call them. -SciFi.com Highlight: Lethem's crack-smoking aliens. -Entertainment Weekly At last we have our definitive collection.... And once again, we can rejoice that revolution after revolution will be printed, not televised. -The Agony Column Worth buying? Well if you want to be the hippest cat on the block, then yes. -SFCrowsnest.com Leave it to Tachyon, one of the most exhilarating and intellectually probing small presses, to put out a book like this. We hope it makes its way out of what the editors call the "ghetto of the fantastic" and into the mainstream. This book is a joy, and could easily become a staple of college syllabi in the not-so-distant future. -Time Out Chicago Whether you're interested in the boundaries of slipstream or not, Feeling Very Strange is a terrific collection of stories. -Intergalactic Medicine Show If you read the contents of Feeling Very Strange in linear order (I recommend that you do), you will actually have a non-linear, information-building, increasingly exhilirating experience. -Science Fiction Studies I've seldom read an anthology in which every story works so well both as a stand-alone and as an element in a greater whole. Heed its contributors and marvel that so diverse a group sings such fine distinctive solos and yet harmonizes so well. Credit Kessel and Kelly, too, for the grace of their introduction, the art of the book's arrangement, and the modesty of their editorial presence, directing our attention away from themselves and toward either the authors of the stories or the participants in the amusing four-part discussion "I Want My 20th-Century Schizoid Art." -Michael Bishop I expect to wake up as a giant cockroach tomorrow morning. Can anything really be better than that? -Reading the Leaves Praise for Rewired: The Post-Cyberpunk Anthology "fascinating, and indispensable to any serious SF reader.... Rewired is one of the best imaginable anthologies covering what SF is doing right now..." -Andrew Wheeler "...cyberpunk has grown past its rebel stage and is now not only capable of dazzling us with surfaces but also of speaking of the human condition..." -Tangent "...an excellent collection and a reminder that the short story is often the best venue for new ideas in the field." -SF Crowsnest "...sixteen inspiring, mind-altering stories...and every story in the bunch is a knockout." -BoingBoing.net Rewired is so controversial that it engendered pre-publication flame war. (OK, it's fairly polite and very funny flame war, but still...) |
