My li'l story is in excellent company!

February 27, 2013While I don't generally see myself as a "pony person," I've read two of these stories online ("Ponies" by Kij Johnson and "The Extinctionists" by Rance D. Denton) and they were gritty and intriguing and all around excellent, so I'd be interested in picking up the anthology to read more like them.

I'm the editor, so my rating may be a bit biased. However, with Bronies you've got an eclectic collection of wonderfully crafted stories dealing with a topic all bronies can relate to: our love of ponies (and horses). Little ponies, big ponies...even synthetic ponies.

Finished this anthology some time ago, so memory is a bit hazy. Overall the selections are pretty good, though as with all anthologies, some are better than others.
