ALEXIA BOOKS AND SUCH declares LED ASTRAY: THE BEST OF KELLEY ARMSTRONG a winner.

Unlike most collections which have a few duds, I can honestly say that every story in this collection is a winner! If you’ve never read Kelley before, this would be a great introduction! And if you’re already a fan, this makes a nice addition to your collection. In other words, you need this book!

NORTHERN TOMORROWS similarly enjoyed LED ASTRAY: THE BEST OF KELLEY ARMSTRONG, calling it “a great survey of Kelley Armstrong’s work.”

Putting aside the Best Of label, LED ASTRAY serves as a great survey of Kelley Armstrong’s work and the stories she tells. The different multi-story worlds that she’s built are all present (except the non-supernatural Nadia Stafford series), mixed in with a good amount of original, non-series stories as well. This provides a good balance for existing fans, as well as allowing those who haven’t read Armstrong before a chance to slowly work their way into her oeuvre.

Stylistically, Armstrong tells stories that are quickly-paced, easily-digestible, and contain a lighthearted, irreverent attitude. At times the stories can get fairly dark, but that lighthearted attitude prevents them from becoming overly morbid. The myriad narrators all feel distinct and unique, and lead to a fun reading experience.

Throughout LED ASTRAY, Armstrong takes familiar tales of the supernatural and tells them in fresh, interesting ways that still pay homage to what made those things such powerful storytelling elements in the first place. It’s a great read for both entrenched fans of her work, as well as those unfamiliar with her that might be looking for a good entryway into her storytelling style.

The German site ALLE BÜCHER MÜSSEN
GELESEN WERDEN offered a podcast about Peter Watts’ BEYOND THE RIFT.

This week’s topic: short stories by Peter Watts!

Peter Watts is for me one of the best living SF writers, and he has written short stories … and what for what!

In podcast today: mermaids, the all-seeing eye of God, court documents against Homeophatieleugner, godless holy warriors, Dinger, Little girls who reside in computers, angry clouds and more.

Global coverage of Tachyon books keeps coming in.

LE MONDE delivers a review of NOUS ALLONS TOUS TRÈS BIEN, MERCI, the French edition of Daryl Gregory’s award-winning WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY FINE.

We are all very well, thank you, second story translated into French novelist and scriptwriter of American comics Daryl Gregory (price Shirley Jackson 2015) makes us perfectly smell the awful stench, that of a community history of suffering and death.

The Great Bazaar & Brayan’s Gold by Peter V. Brett, I read through Netgalley and of which you’ll hear more talk!(And yes, it could be a threat!)

(Translated from Italian by Google)

DICKKÖPFIGSAMMELN discusses Anne R. Dick’s THE SEARCH FOR PHILIP K. DICK.

She also has a biography, a memoir published, in the first, hardcover in 1995 at Edwin Mellen: Search for Philip K. Dick, 1928-1982: A Memoir and Biography of the Science Fiction Writer. This book was long out of print, 2009, has Anne Dick apparently self-published new and expanded launched as a paperback again. For a few months it was purchased through a Web page with her, you could even get it signed. I have done this to me, that was before the Great postage costs increase. And when you have otherwise ever get the opportunity to receive a letter from Dick’s (ex-) wife? In any case, a nice piece for the collection.

The following year, 2010, then Tachyon Publications took over the book literally. With new ISBN, new cover art and a changed title, The stands now before the book is now also in paperback, by Tachyon available.
