Laddar... Eldritch Evolutionsav Lois H. Gresh

Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. I was hoping for more, I guess. Certainly, it opens well with the first three stories being absolutely brilliant. Then there is a long, brutal hiatus in the middle of the book with plenty of stories about nanotechnology & organic computing. Accessibilty in short stories is key & I found these very inaccessible. It's a pity because later offerings, such as "Geisha Black" are actually rather good. At times though I found it very hard work. I wouldn't recommend this & only buy if you are a fan of Gresh herself, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and that arm of science fiction. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

ELDRITCH EVOLUTIONS is the first collection of short stories by Lois H. Gresh, one of the most talented writers working these days in the realms of imagination. These tales of weird fiction blend elements wrung from science fiction, dark fantasy, and horror. Some stories are bent toward bizarre science, others are Lovecratian Mythos tales, and yet others are just twisted. They all share an underlying darkness, pushing Lovecraftian science and themes in new directions. While H.P. Lovecraft incorporated the astronomy and physics ideas of his day (e.g., cosmos-within-cosmos and other dimensions), these stories speculate about modern science: quantum optics, particle physics, chaos theory, string theory, and so forth. Full of unique ideas, bizarre plot twists, and fascinating characters, these tales show a feel for pacing and structure, and a wild sense of humor. They always surprise and delight.
