Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-14 00:00:00 Miriam Trowbridge I finally read this, after it had sat on my shelf for almost as long as it had been published for. Like most story collections it's a mixed bag. I particularly liked The Long Chase, The War of the Worldviews, and Breathmoss. Angles and The Black Abacus had particularly interesting concepts, but I felt like I wanted more out of them. Most of the rest were decent but not really noteworthy, and Coelacanths was so overly strange and bizarre it was little more than so much nonsense.
