I reviewed this collection on SF Mistressworks: https://sfmistressworks.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/cautionary-tales-chelsea-quinn-... ( ) Absolutely stunning collection of Yabro's work, with commentary from the author. I have to admit I've found her vampire fiction entertaining but nothing to reread, so I was thrilled to find her short works much more appealing. Most stories fall into the SF/Horror genres. Several of the stories also draw on Yabro's favourite operas, which adds an extra layer to some of the darker pieces. My personal favourites in the collection were 'Un Bel Di', 'Allies' and 'Dead in Irons'. The intro is by James Tiptree, which tickled me. 'He' talks about not being able to judge an author's work by their personality (and vice versa) which is particularly apt considering how many authors and critics failed to guess 'his' real gender. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Chilling tales full of alien beauty or terror from the original queen of horror. "Into My Own" is a story which takes please inside the head of an aging playwright in a hospital bed, trying to resign himself to giving up his soul to an organic computer. "Disturb Not My Slumbering Fair" deals with the problems which a teenage ghoul faces when she attempts to gain access to the city morgue. And in "Fellini Beggar" Ms. Yarbo highlights one of the unifying themes of this volume, the magic mystery of beauty and love surviving, however doomed, against all odds. Also includes "Everything That Begins with an 'M'", "Frog Pond", "Un Bel Di", "Lammas Night", "The Meaning of the Word", "The Generalissimo's Butterfly", "Allies", "Dead in Irons", "Swan Song" and "An Indulgence."
