chuckmck has reviewed 2012 HERE, and says lovely things about the antho in general:
Anthologies are a little like TV sketch-comedy shows, in that you generally end up with a couple of truly magnificent offerings, a bunch of fairly average pieces, and one or two clunkers. That said, 2012 seems to be the anthology that bucks the trend. It’s magnificent from beginning to end, with each and every story a gem in its own right. My prediction: we’ll be seeing a fair swag of specific awards for 2012 and its contents over the next year.
He also mentions my story, "Skinsongs", amongst his favourites of the antho, which makes me squee, just a little, quietly, because I'm at work:
‘Skin Songs’ by Martin Livings; a nasty little tale which taps into every generation’s distrust of new musical styles. And with car crashes, vomit-chokings and pill-poppings being ‘so yesterday’, how will the pop stars of tomorrow punch their tickets to Rock ‘n’ Roll immortality?
*squee*
So,girliejones, benpayne, you think you done good? :)
What are you all standing around here for? Get out and buy the damn thing!
