Davidson's impeccable ear for dialogue, his sly humor, and even his occasionally dark cynicism, imbues every one of these pieces. The introductions, inside stories, and insights provided in the introduction to each one, penned by luminaries in the field, make this an absolute must-have for any fan of the genre.
Not every story will ring the bell with every readers. Davidson's range of interest was so wide and his ability to move from Chandleresque hard luck story to wildly improbably fantasy so fluid that it would be well-nigh impossible for each one to meet the precise needs of every reader. Sobeit. There will still be something ... some line, some scene, some notion ... that will stay in the reader's mind long after the book is closed (assuming it stays closed; most hard-core fans will end up revisiting this volume often).
My personal favorite here is And Don't Forget the One Red Rose. Your mileage may vary, but if you're an sf-fantasy reader, you're bound to enjoy the ride.… (lisätietoja)
