Pretenders by Lynda Williams
Tesseracts Thirteen edited by Nancy Kilpatrick & David Morrell
Avim's Oath: "At the start of Avims Oath, it looks as if Amel will finally be able to relax, and that he will be able to help those he loves without recrimination and violence, but he soon realizes that if he wants to help those he cares about he needs to have the power to create peace." - Neo-Opsis
Chilling Tales: "Overall, this was a strong anthology and an entertaining read. However, it wasnt the scariest book I have come across. Of course, horror means different things to different people. Many of these stories did step up and try to deliver a strong punch." - Maria Mitchell
"All in all, Circle Tide is a great science fiction story that provides a solid mix of political intrigue, mad-dash adventure, and colorful characters." - Josh Vogt, reviewer
"I'm a sucker for short story collections featuring Sherlock Holmes. I'm a big fan of most things having to do with one of the world's most famous fictional detectives (having enjoyed the new BBC series, Sherlock, alongside the Robert Downey Jr. films). So, it delighted me to discover Gaslight Arcanum, where the stories take Holmes, Watson, and their many companions into supernatural or otherwise extraordinary events. - Josh Vogt
"What an excellent read! This book is fast paced and gripping. It is set in a well thought out world with interesting and complex characters in a challenging situation. It is a feast for the imagination - thoughtful with parallels in modern life on the nature of race and prejudice."
"The consumerist mall-as-dystopia is not a wholly original idea, but I cant remember ever encountering one so unflinchingly brutal as Technicolor Ultra Mall. From the opening blaze of profanity-peppered violence to the bleak cataclysm of its conclusion, Oakley never eases the pressure, tearing aside the glossy veils of commerce to reveal the cynical profiteering beneath. - Paul Raven, reviewer, Futurismic
Tesseracts Fifteen: A Case of Quite Curious Tales: includes works by authors: E. L. Chen, Amanda Sun, Erika Holt, Francine Lewis, Jennifer Greylyn, Nicole Luiken, Katrina Nicholson, Cat McDonald, Leslie Brown, Kevin Cockle, Mike Rimar, Elise Moser, Shen Braun, J. J. Steinfeld, Michele Ann Jenkins, Claude Lalumiθre, Virginia Modugno, Helen Marshall, Ed Greenwood, Robert Runtι, Rebecca M. Senese, Kurt Kirchmeier, Claire Eamer, Michelle Barker, Lynne M. MacLean, Tony Pi, K. Boorman.
FYI: Author Cat McDonald posted a reading of "The Road of Good Intentions" on her BLOG.
"Urban fantasy has a special place in my heart, and the Occult Detective is perhaps the fundamental urban-fantasy archetype. An anthology of this kind is can serve two purposes: The first is to provide a taste of the genre to those that might otherwise be unfamiliar with it, and the second is to provide fans of the genre a chance to discover writers they may not have already come across.
It was well worth the read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly for any fan of the urban fantasy/occult detective genre; even more so if you are unfamiliar with the genre and would like a taste as to what its all about." - Nick Bronson
