In the March Locus, Gardner Dozois reviews the January/February issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and singles out my Raffalon story, "Telltale," as “...the best of the issue’s fantasy stories."

He says, "Matthew Hughes gives us another story of Raffalon the Thief in ‘Telltale’, as Raffalon tries to reason his way out of another of the complex and very sticky magical situations he’s always getting himself entangled in, this one even more difficult to extricate himself from than usual.”
