5.0 out of 5 stars A Box of Delights, 15 May 2006
By Christopher O. Beckett "Chris Beckett" (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Short story collections are said to be out of fashion. Publishers claim that the reading public wants only novels. I don't know why. This book is an excellent demonstration of how a short story collection can deliver an entirely different sort of pleasure from a novel: not a sustained narrative but a box of delights.

The stories move between SF, ghost stories, horror and just plain fiction. Heads on sticks, watery ghosts, simian engineers, scenes from World War I, tales of lost love and sailors away at sea, you name it. There's some beautiful writing too. The gem for me was 'A Horse in Drifting Light', a brief, wonderfully restrained account of a disorientating journey into a genetically modified world.

Highly recommended.
