I really should check the ASif site more often, shouldn't I?

They saved the best for last, with the Tin Duck Award nominated story “Hooked” by Martin Living (sic). The parallels between this story and a certain well known children’s tale are immediately apparent, but it is the subtlety with which the common threads and iconic characters transposed into an adult world, which (I hope it was by design) brings the collection full circle. As we see a return to the point Josephine Pennicott illustrated in her initial piece, that fairy tales were originally entirely too adult for children’s eyes. “Hooked” was my favourite of all the stories, a high point finish to a collection of excellent fiction.

My only complaint? Misspelling my name, as usual. :)
