So Far, So Near by Mat Coward

Mat Coward's stories...treat the fantastic as the most natural thing in the world, to the extent that you might not even notice at first; and, when you do, your attitude might be like that of the character who finds a dead ghost sitting on his toilet: 'you shouldn't be surprised. . . at what life chooses to throw at you. One ghost, two divorces, one imminent bankruptcy.' When you put it like that, why should encountering a ghost be so notable?


The complete review is available online -- about halfway down the page -- at Serendipity.
