![]() I liked “Snow” even more than I remembered. I had read both “Snow” and “Exogamy” before in other pages (likely Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling’s Year’s Best volumes). ![]() ![]() The fatalistic “Her Bounty to the Dead” is my next pick in this volume the ending is as sudden as a car crash, and just as inevitable. “The Reason for the Visit” is somewhat pointless if you don’t know anything about Virginia Woolf, like me. The best story by far is the title story, a mystery about sex in a small town. “Missolonghi 1824” uses the style of the tall tale to explore a being from the past in a somewhat more recent past. In “The Green Child,” Crowley tells an anti- fairy tale, wherein the fairies visit our world and lose their ability rather than the other way around. ![]() Just seven stories, nothing longer than 6,000 words, but richer by far than the sparseness of the type on the pages. Antiquities: Seven Stories, John Crowley, Incunabula, 1994, ISBN 9780963363725, 100pp.Ī small press short story collection from Crowley that I had to request through Inter-Library Loan. ![]()
