Shoggoths in Bloom by Elizabeth Bear

4.0

I only stumbled upon Elizabeth Bear recently and thank god I did. I'm very pleased to know that she's a prolific writer because that means there is a wealth of reading waiting for me. Shoggoths in Bloom would be a great starting point for anyone checking her out, because it is an excellent collection, one that reads almost like an anthology of 20 different writers, all of them really creative and gifted. I'm having a difficult time remembering another sf/fantasy author who could write in such variety of mode and mood. I didn't love every story but there isn't a clinker in the bunch. They're all thoughtful, witty and most of all, interesting. Highly recommended.
