Otherworldly Maine

by Noreen Doyle (Editor)

Elizabeth Hand, Stephen King, and Edgar Pangborn put Maine on the map as a place where otherworldly things happen. But they're not the only authors who see the state as a source of inspiration for fantasy and science fiction. Twenty-four writers from Mark Twain to Jack L. Chalker, Gardner Dozois ― and, yes, Hand, King, and Pangborn ― present everything from dark fantasies of the past to a utopian vision of the future.

[Dollie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a collection of 24 short stories with the state of Maine as a location. Some of the stories were written by Mainers, such as Stephen King, and some were written by “people from away, who had probably never been here,” such as Jack Chalker. As someone who has lived here most of my life, I found it fairly easy to tell the difference. The stories were okay.
