Shadows of the New Sun: Stories in Honor of Gene Wolfe
Ratings1
Average rating3
A book of short stories in honour of Gene Wolfe by a range of authors. Seeing Neil Gaiman among them hooked me in but the book overall was a bit of a disappointment. Some of the stories invoked either characters or settings from Wolfe's work. None of them hit home well. Wolfe had two stories in here as well. It took me much longer to read it than it should. The variation between the stories was such that reading a few at a time messed up my concentration, which considering how much concentration it takes to read Wolfe himself was a surprise. There's a part of me that doesn't want to quit a book part way through but calling quits on this one might have been better than finishing it.
