Richard Bowes
Richard Bowes. Sir Morgravain Speaks of Night Dragons and Other Things. (Fantasy & Science Fiction Jul/Aug 2011)
A touch of ancient magic and noblery from Bowes.
Richard Bowes. Venues. (Fantasy & Science Fiction, Nov/Dec 2010).
Bowes’ series of autobiographical (up to a point!) stories in F&SF have been a treat for some time now.
Richard Bowes. Pining to Be Human. (Fantasy & Science Fiction July/August 2010)
Intensely personal, and with a fantastical element that’s gentler than most that appear in the magazine, part of a substantial series.
Rich Horton. The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2009.
A late arrival on my doorstep, and it’s taken much longer to finish the review than I had hoped. Note to self : faster dude, faster!
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, March/April 2010.
Something for everyone … pervs included. Duncan, Reaves and Bowes my favourites, giving the first half of the chunky, value for money, volume more grist to my reviewing mill.
Jonathan Strahan. The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year. Volume 3.
A collection of excellent stories.
Richard Bowes. Waiting for the Phone to Ring. (F&SF Mar/Apr 2010)
Another excellent semi-autobiographical tale from Bowes. Put a Velvet Underground LP on (CDs and mp3s won’t cut it) and step back in time 40 years.
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, December 2009

Alex Irvine. Dragon’s Teeth. Irvine’s ‘Wizard Six’ in F&SF June 2007 was a strong and dark fantasy story. In a [...]
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, February 2008
James L. Cambias. Balancing Accounts. A strong SF story to open the issue, and one with an interesting POV character – an AI shuttling salvage and cargo amongst the asteroid belt. With very few humans this far outof the system, most of the trading and dealing is AI to AI. ‘Annie’, autonomous and incentivised, has [...]
Fantasy and Science Fiction May 2002
Paul Di Filippo. The Short Ashy Afterlife of Hiram P. Dottle. The bookish Dottle finds his path from quiet middle age to the end of his life takes a rather strange, and shorter, turn when he meets an attractive young woman. His naivety prevents him from seeing that she is a gold-digger, and unfortunately for [...]
