Musings from the Outer Worlds: May 2015

http://josephzanetti.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Musings from the Outer Worlds. Monday, May 25, 2015. The Pulse Between Dimensions and the Desert: Review. We are specks in this mess. We are so miniscule, but we express ourselves with the magnitude of an entire galaxy. More often than not, I will purchase a book based on what I hear from others, mainly authors and avid readers such as myself. It's uncommon for me to make an impulse buy. Rios de la Luz's collection of stories, The Pulse Between Dimensions and the Desert. How we are made to feel alienated...

http://josephzanetti.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Musings from the Outer Worlds. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. When it's Time for Dead Things to Die: Review. Alexis had provided scant, agitating hazy details, but those were enough to reshape Lowe's perception of reality and the things that subsisted on the fringes. My body is chilled, my soul engulfed in shadows. Why? Because I read Clint Smith's novella, When it's Time for Dead Things to Die. Published by the leader of Weird Fiction, Dunhams Manor Press, When it's Time for Dead Things to Die. Slatsky's st...

Musings from the Outer Worlds: No One is Sleeping in this World: Review/Analysis

http://josephzanetti.blogspot.com/2015/04/no-one-is-sleeping-in-this-world.html

Musings from the Outer Worlds. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. No One is Sleeping in this World: Review/Analysis. If one were to accept that sentience was predicated on matter, and cities were some of the most complicated structures ever built, emergent properties were the inevitable consequence. When I wrote on Christopher Slatsky's short story, Alectryomancer. I said if you aren't reading his work, you are doing yourself a huge disservice.

James Everington - Scattershot Writing: Strange Stories

http://jameseverington.blogspot.com/p/strange-stories.html

James Everington - Scattershot Writing. The triumph of Everington’s first novel is that, while hinting at lofty literary precedents, it cumulatively takes on an unsettling voice all of its own."

Musings from the Outer Worlds. Monday, May 4, 2015. The Queen in Green: Review/Analysis. Everything-trees, rocks, sun, wind-all of it speaks its own language at its own pace. But being human means we are too self-involved to even consider the notion. Is one such story. A Weird tale that would make anyone think twice about going into the woods. Until I read The Queen in Green. A chapbook published by Dunhams Manor Press, The Queen in Green. The mention of sentience and frequencies outside the meager range...
