| | The SF Site Featured Review: Redshift |
 | | While here in Redshift, we are given, for example, Ardath Mayhar's "Fungi," a nice enough story that could have been published without a word changed in any early 50s magazine -- and indeed, very similar stories, with similar themes, were published in early 50s magazines. |
 | | Sarrantonio's further claim, that his anthology is the best original anthology of the past 25 years, is at least defensible from the point of view of his understandable bias -- but speaking as a reviewer, I can't endorse that claim either, though this book is a fine collection of stories. |
 | | So, even if Redshift doesn't live up to the editor's hype, and even if it features quite a few stories that aren't really up to snuff, it is a long book, and the best stories in it are certainly worth the price of the book, and worth your reading attention. |
