Title spotlight - "The Monster's Corner" edited by Christopher Golden

I’ve learned this week that Christopher Golden, the popular speculative fiction author, has a new anthology coming up this year, “The Monster’s Corner”, due to be released by St. Martin’s Press in October. The anthology features all new short fiction and the stories are told from the monster’s perspective. The concept sounds really interesting and resonated with me the instant I learned of it. The line-up looks very interesting as well, with some of the important writers of today’s speculative fiction and some of the authors whose works I enjoyed quite a lot lately.

- “Rue” by Lauren Groff
- “Succumb” by John McIlveen

I like anthologies for the varied and short fiction, but find when doing a review that I get bogged down in the number of stories.

Well, it is a bit of a challenge, but I like reviewing anthologies. Although it takes a bit longer than usual :)
