I know, there are four days left in 2017 and the last issue is still on the newsstands. But I’m hitting the ground running for 2018! Here’s the first review of “Aurelia” in the January-February 2018 Issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
First, here are the contents:
“Jewel of The Heart” by Matthew Hughes
“Widdam” by Vandana Singh
“Galatea in Utopia” by Nick Wolven
“The Donner Party” by Dale Bailey
“Aurelia” by Lisa Mason
“Neanderthals” by Gardner Dozois
“A List of Forty-Nine Lies” by Steven Fisher
“An Equation of State” by Robert Reed
“The Equationist” by J. D. Moyer
“A Feather in Her Cap” by Mary Robinette Kowal
And here’s the review:
“Rot. Molding leaves and fungus. The smell of soil. And a thoroughly despicable lawyer. Lisa Mason‘s “Aurelia” is a tour de force, an assault on the senses wrapped around a mystery, a tale of friendship and copious amounts of unscrupulous sex and a main character one loves to hate. And yet, Mason manages to make him engaging.
“Aurelia” sticks to its theme in a skillfully executed and very entertaining manner. The writing itself feels like a cross between thoroughly modern dark fantasy, and classics like Poe and Lovecraft, dragging you forward, almost against your own will. If you like dark fantasy, mysteries and gorgeous prose, “Aurelia” is for you.” https://www.tangentonline.com/print–bi-monthly-reviewsmenu-260/221-fantasy-a-science-fiction/3705-fantasy-a-science-fiction-januaryfebruary-2018
So there you have it, my friends. I’ve had my share of hard knocks in my writing career since I sold my first story to OMNI magazine in 1985. So I’ve got to say it—I like being compared to Poe and Lovecraft! And having gorgeous prose! What a way to start the New Year!
