The Blurb On The Back:
An anthology of sci-fi, fantasy and horror stories, and non-fiction by English and Creative Writing undergraduates at Brunel University London.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
This is an anthology of stories and essays in the SF, fantasy and horror genres written by undergraduate students studying English and/or Creative Writing at Brunel University. It’s edited by Kirsty Capes (with Frazer Lee and Nick Hubble serving as Supervising Editors) and Nick Hubble’s introduction sets out Brunel University’s association with SF, fantasy and horror, which is particularly interesting as I had no idea of Ken MacLeod’s association with the university and how it pops up in his writing. Because the writers are all undergraduates, you can’t go into this anthology expecting to find writers at the top of their game – they’re still learning their craft – but there’s a lot of promise on show here and it’s really good to see writers who are completely new to the genre making a positive contribution to it.
