Thanks for all the kind words. If you could let your audience know--all the Borderlands volumes are now or soon will be available as eBooks from Cross Road Press.

I remember buying this at a college bookstore solely because it had a Klein story in it. That was like finding gold. <br /><br />Oh, I'm sure you probably know this, but Poppy Z.

I do look for Kane stuff occasionally but no, haven't read any. Thanks for the compliments!<br /><br />Ron - Great point.

Dark Harvest's NIGHT VISIONS series is also outstanding (and the first few were reprinted in mass-market pbs under different titles). Those two are what I think about when I think of exemplary antho series. WHISPERS, SHADOWS, MASQUES, et al...all quite good series,Ron Clintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433028755791230589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-36530295760471300872013-06-05T00:43:22.850-07:002013-06-05T00:43:22.850-07:00Did Karl Edward Wagner ever write anything not wor...Did Karl Edward Wagner ever write anything not worth reading? I mean, maybe Silted In or Shrapnel, but even then, you get a portrait of a talented and methodical artist in the throes of personal destruction. I mean, I always try to separate the artist from the work when I am absorbing them, but there's something about Wagner that is a little too...close to the heart.

I reviewed his first collection of short stories and found it uneven at best. <br /><br />His novels require a different degree of suspension of belief, because Little uses horror as social commentary on everyday life. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but the guy writes some spooky stories.
