SFRevu Reviews Abyss & Apex #33
In which nice things are said by Sam Tomaino about Abyss & Apex #33 (Q1 2010) at SFRevu, including a snippet about my story:
Tony Pi's "Night of the Manticore" is set during "the Ides of Quintile, in the Seventh Year of the Reign of King Edmund V of Lyonesse". It is a world alike but also different from our own, in which goddesses are worshiped and their equivalent of prehistoric beasts are Leolithic Wonders like a Manticore, a Griffin, a Mer-Lion or a Gynosphinx. The guests of honor at the Grand Exhibition are Professor Tremaine Voss, Chief Curator of Aigyptian Magic at le Musée d’Ys and his son, Ellery, who has sculpted marvelous statues of these beasts. Also, at the exhibition is the professor's rival, Hector Mason, who has brought something to upstage Voss. Pi tells a marvelous story here that I enjoyed thoroughly.
In other news, I just finished revisions on "The Gold Silkworm" after helpful comments from the Stop-Watch Gang. Mike Rimar's wizard story was the funniest during the crit session, and I hope it sells somewhere soon.
