The esteemed\u00a0Library Journal<\/em><\/a> reviewed\u00a0The Apes of Wrath<\/em> in their March 15 issue.<\/p>\n

The Apes of Wrath. Tachyon. Mar. 2013. 384p.
\ned. by Richard Klaw. ISBN 9781616960858. pap. $15.95. FANTASY<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing together such classic writers such as Gustav Flaubert (\u201cQuidquid Volueris\u201d), Edgar Allan Poe (\u201cThe Murders in the Rue Morgue\u201d), Edgar Rice Burroughs (\u201cTarzan\u2019s First Love\u201d), Franz Kafka (\u201cA Report to an Academy\u201d), and Robert E. Howard (\u201cRed Shadows\u201d) with modern fantasy and horror authors, editor Klaw, co-owner of Mojo Press, a noted publisher of graphic novels and themed anthologies, has assembled a collection of 13 stories revolving around the great apes and playing upon their similarities to and differences from humans. Including James P. Blaylock\u2019s steampunk comedy of errors (\u201cThe Ape-Box Affair\u201d) featuring a space-traveling ape, several bumbling Londoners, and a mysterious silver box or two, and Philip Jose Farmer\u2019s continuation of a classic ape story (\u201cAfter King Kong Fell\u201d), this volume attests to literature and film\u2019s fascination with our primate cousins. The foreward by Rupert Wyatt, director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and a pair of essays by Jess Nevins (\u201cApes in Literature\u201d) and Rick Klaw (\u201cGorilla of Your Dreams: A Brief History of Simian Cinema\u201d) make this more than just a curious short-story collection. VERDICT Aficionados of apes in literature and film should enjoy this gathering of new and old stories.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall a good review. But why do people have some much trouble spelling “foreword?”<\/p>\n
