| Strange Mistresses: Tales of Wonder & Romance :: Dark Regions Press :: Collection by James Dorr |
|
With reprints from the pages of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine,
Tomorrow SF, Aboriginal SF, Short Story Digest, and other leading
publications, along with original fiction and poetry, Strange
Mistresses offers the first comprehensive--and
long-awaited--collection of James Dorr's work. Dorr is a recipient
of the 1998 Best of the Web Award and a finalist for both the
Anthony (mystery) and Darrell (stories set in the mid-South) Awards.
He has worked as a technical writer, associate editor on a city
magazine, and a full-time non-fiction freelancer, and as a musician.
"'Bitter Perfume' . . . an exceptionally fine oriental fantasy,
begging comparison to those of Jessica Amanda Salmonson . . . my
praise can come no higher . . . "
"I see a number of writers who are showing potential, with James
Dorr making leaps since I first began reading him . . . "
". . . images that manage to be both sweeping and specific . . .
Good, strong stuff. And it keeps growing, building. Mythic symbols
abound . . . grotesque and fascinating events . . . "
"The fantasy is decidedly dark, the somberness relieved by the
bright red of blood, the phosphorence of decay . . . The writing
throughout is disciplined and evocative. There is an exotic
opulence to the decadence . . . " | |||||||
