Reviews

[Alex Budris · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was excited about this one and really tried to like it, but, unfortunately, it's a DNF. I usually like this pulpy stuff - Golden Age superheroes, Lovecraftian horrors, weird Sherlock Holmes... Well, there is a weird physics story - 'At Vega's Taqueria' - that's really good... But otherwise I was underwhelmed. Missing a quotient of 'zip' required to make this kind of writing three-dimensional.
