Reviews of Sybil’s Garage and Steam-Powered, Lesbian Steampunk Stories.

16 October 2010 2 Comments Posted by Matthew Kressel

Sybil’s Garage was reviewed by Tangent Online and mentioned in Locus Magazine.

Rich Horton of Locus says, “The always interesting ‘zine Sybil’s Garage is back with a thicker than usual issue (partly because of a format change).  As ever, it provides a stimulating mix of SF, fantasy, poetry, and slipstream.  This time around my favorite is “The Poincare Sutra” by Anil Menon, a perkily told but rather dark story of a 16-year-old Coptic girl in Israel, who falls in love with a Jewish boy while her father’s past pushes him in a different direction.”

And Jo-Anne Odell of Tangent Online says, “There are some excellent stories contained in this volume.”

And on a personal note, Friends of Wild Iris reviews Steam-Powered: Lesbian Steampunk Stories. Though they don’t mention my story in particular, they say, “Before I started reading, I’d heard of only a handful of the authors – mainly through knowing people who read their blogs. After reading this anthology, I think I’m going to track down as much of their work as possible and read it. And how much more of a recommendation can I give?
