Title: teasing appetites for future stories
Review: OK, I'm the author of this book. I gave it 4 stars because *nothing* I write will ever be perfection. If you're an honest objective fiction writer, the *next* book will always be better, but (unless you're really stupid or sociopathic) no work will ever rate unto perfection.This is a collection of short stories, some published (between 1985 and 1999) and some pristine. There are also poems - work-in-action, work artifacts. If you liked 'the bone people' or the short story collection 'The Windeater' you'll probably like this book (aside from anything else, the production value alone equals *****.) If you havent read those books - hey, try a walk on the West Coast Maori side! Aotearoa-New Zealand that is- we have spider-boys among us, archaeological mysteries are commonplace, and the borderline between worlds is not infrequently crossed-=
