Cover by Rocky Kelley<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Under the banner of\u00a0FORGOTTEN BOOKS #243: RAYGUNS OVER TEXAS Edited by Richard Klaw<\/a>,\u00a0George Kelley wrote:<\/p>\n

Scott Cupp generously sent me a copy of\u00a0Rayguns Over Texas<\/em>, a collection of Science Fiction short stories written by Texas writers. I love the cover by Rocky Kelley (no relation)! Bruce Sterling provides a wonderful Introduction. Scott Cupp\u2019s essay on his SF reading is masterful. Neal Barrett, Jr., Joe R. Lansdale, and Michael Moorcock wrote my favorite stories in this collection, but there are plenty of other enjoyable stories here. Pick up a copy soon before they\u2019re all gone!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nice review but isn’t\u00a0Rayguns<\/em> a little new to be considered a “forgotten title?” Only been out for two months!<\/p>\n
