I’m finally almost done reading The New Weird, a collection of stories by people like China Mieville, Kathe Koja, Jay Lake, and so on. I received it a few weeks ago, and would’ve set it aside for months as I have a lot of other reading to do, but Joe found out I had it and asked me to "whomp up" a review. I would’ve done so a lot sooner, but man, a lot of these stories are dense reading, and they are intense–I just can’t curl up with the book and devour it. I have to take breaks. Plus, I have to read a bunch of stuff to prep for classes that start soon, and I’m working on a couple of papers for conferences.
Anyway, good stuff, and I’ll try to have the review up soon.
