Reviews

[Gale · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall, I thought this was a better collection of stories than the first volume. Not to say that the first one didn't have its own gems, of course. The paper and physical production value is excellent again, and I especially like the cover. I wish we had gotten a story from the cover artist.

My only complaint is that there were several typos throughout--a problem I do not recall with the first volume. For such a limited print run by an independent publisher, I hope they tighten up their editing in the future.

More unparalleled SFX

Cool collection of stories. I really liked "Telephone, Sleep, Music" by Kawakatsu Tokushige, "Haunted" by Morita Rui, "Family Restaurant" by Miki Yamamoto, and "Lisa's Left Hand" by Kenya Oba.
