Status Updates From The Devil and the Deep

Introduction by editor Ellen Datlow
I love when anyone ever mentions my old neighborhood Rockaway and has fond memories of it!

1st story: Deadwater by Simon Bestwick
Liked it. Revenge story. Short and sweet.

wow, the first story was baaaaad. I'm on my knees begging men to stop writing "strong female characters", because somehow they think that means "sexy woman with big tits who uses sex to get whatever she wants, only talks about sex, and whose only personality is having some kind of trauma (that is never actually explained), which makes her tough and mysterious and oh so sexy". Go talk to a real woman, for fuck's sake.
