Bumper Crop

Joe R. Lansdale

Nice Companion Piece to High Cotton

The Physiognomy (The Well-Built City Trilogy)

Jeffrey Ford

Golden Gryphon Press, 2008

A Deliciously-Rendered Dystopia
This book is written in a style that dense and compressed yet deliciously florid all at the same time. Other Amazon reviewers have complained about the lack of characterization, but I didn't have this problem. Cley (the Physiognomist who goes from antihero to hero ...

Memoranda (The Well-Built City Trilogy)

Jeffrey Ford

Golden Gryphon Press, 2008

Magical SurRealism

Super Reader

A Thousand Deaths

Publishers Weekly review
Since Amazon has neglected to post the Publishers Weekly review for Effinger's A THOUSAND DEATHS, I'll take the liberty. Publishers Weekly for May 7, 2007: A heartfelt homage to the late (and largely underappreciated) SF author Effinger (1947-2002), this intimate ...

Custer's Last Jump and Other Collaborations

Howard Waldrop

Idea (...) from the galactic fringe

Budayeen Nights

George Alec Effinger

Golden Gryphon Press, 2008

Best SF Collection of 2003!
What isn't obvious about the Publishers Weekly review of BUDAYEEN NIGHTS posted above is that this was a *starred* review! Not only is it rare for a sf/fantasy collection even to be reviewed in PW, but to receive a starred review is . . . well, kudos to Golden Gryphon ...
