An Interview with Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane, editors of Wonderland: An Anthology
- By Doreen Sheridan in Author Interview, Doreen, Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction, Short Stories, Urban Fantasy
-
September 30, 2019
Q: Every book has its own story about how it came to be conceived and written as it did. How did Wonderland evolve? Marie: Our editor at Titan, Cat Camacho, had quite a large part to play with this one. We were pitching various projects, one of which was an anthology of dark fairy tales …

Wonderland: An Anthology edited by Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane

September 17, 2019
First of all, Titan Books just has the best speculative fiction short story anthologies. Between this and the recent Wastelands 3: The New Apocalypse alone, I feel entirely spoiled with exposure to some of the best minds working in fantastic fiction today. Wonderland collects 20 brand new short works (18 stories, plus two poems from …

Hexarchate Stories by Yoon Ha Lee
- By Doug Merrill in Doug, Science Fiction, Short Stories
-
August 11, 2019
My review of Revenant Gun, the third in Yoon Ha Lee’s Machineries of Empire series, ended “In short, I would greatly enjoy reading more stories set within Lee’s hexarchate, or indeed either the heptarchate that preceded it or the successor states that are trying to succeed it… And no more Jedao for a while, please. …

Wastelands 3: The New Apocalypse edited by John Joseph Adams
- By Doreen Sheridan in Doreen, Fantasy, Horror, Post-Apocalypse, Science Fiction, Short Stories
-
June 4, 2019
I genuinely cannot remember the last time I read a short story collection so consistently stunning. Honestly, there’s not a weak one in the bunch, and that’s saying a lot considering there are 34 tales of post-apocalyptic life in this hefty volume. Whether the end of the world comes about due to war or infection …

Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang
- By Doug Merrill in Doug, Science Fiction, Short Stories
-
January 10, 2019
Stories of Your Life and Others left me cold, which surprised me for two reasons: first, because he has a reputation as an excellent writer, few stories but nearly every one a contender for major awards and often enough a winner; second, because I had enjoyed The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate so much. (That …

This Dreaming Isle edited by Dan Coxon
- By Doreen Sheridan in Doreen, Horror, Short Stories
-
December 26, 2018
I love the idea of this, and I love the way it’s been edited, dividing the book into three distinct parts that reflect very much the most vital areas of England: Country, City and Coast. The seventeen stories in this collection cover a host of supernatural occurrences, embracing the diversity of the English experience. Most …

An Interview with Aliya Whiteley, author of The Arrival Of Missives
- By Doreen Sheridan in Author Interview, Doreen, Science Fiction, Short Stories
-
November 8, 2018
Q: Every book has its own story about how it came to be conceived and written as it did. How did The Arrival Of Missives evolve? A: It started with the voice of my main character, Shirley, and grew entirely from there. I loved her straight away; she’s a teenager who is both naïve and …

Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
- By Doreen Sheridan in Doreen, Feminism, Horror, Short Stories
-
August 19, 2018
Short story collections are often hit or miss for me. Particularly when they’re the collected works of a single author: I often find myself rooting for said author to do well with each new story even as I’m quietly disappointed by the sum of the collection. This is especially true for writing that’s critically lauded …

My Grave Ritual (Warlock Holmes #3) by G.S. Denning
- By Doreen Sheridan in Doreen, Horror, Humor, Short Stories
-
June 4, 2018
If A Study In Brimstone was the introduction to Warlock Holmes, and The Hell-Hound Of The Baskervilles essentially his origin story, then My Grave Ritual brings the machinations of The Woman to the forefront. Not for G.S. Denning the consignment of Irene Adler to a single story. She is, instead, a constant, if elusive, presence …
