So kids, there are a lot of anthologies out there. More and more all the time. So, you need something you can depend on, something cool and great to read, something with dependably high standards. Deb Layne and Jay Lake have been delivering the goods for five years or so with the Polyphony series of anthologies. Deb’s just posted the table of contents for Polyphony 6. If the idea of new stories by Robert Reed, Howard Waldrop and Steve Utley (authors of Custer’s Last Jump!!), Pam Sargent, Barry Malzberg, Tim Pratt, Nina Hoffman, and top notch Aussies like Jack Dann, Ben Peek and Anna Tambour gets you interested, go order one now! This sort of book deserves your support, so go do it. Now. Go. Really.

Looks mighty fine! A question, though: isn’t ‘Crab’ by the Utley/Waldrop cabal from the nocte mirabile of long ago? [That is, is this a re-write of the story published in Eternity SF thirty-odd years back?]

Bruce, “Crab” was sold to ETERNITY SF in the mid-1970s, but then the magazine went belly-up … unless somebody knows something that Howard and I don’t.
