Gavin and Kelly are crazy people, in a good way. In between life and it’s daily travails they both write wonderful fiction, edit fine anthologies and somehow find time to publish a magazine and books. They’ve just announced their latest, a chapbook of stories and poems by Theodora Goss. I loved her stories “The Rose in Twelve Petals” and “Professor Berkowitz Stands on the Threshold”, both of which are in the chapbook, and think her new story “Miss Emily Gray”, from Steve Pasechnick’s fine Alchemy, is definitely amongst the year’s best. I suspect you need this one, and know I do. I just don’t know how Gavin and Kelly find time to sleep.

On a less happy note, the new Donaldson has a particularly ugly opening paragraph. It’ll get better though. I’m sure of it. Definitely. Really. Probably.
