A review by thewilyfilipino
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, May/June 2014 by Gordon Van Gelder

3.0

Highlights: Buckram's "Presidential Cryptotrivia," Sheen's "The Shadow in the Corner" (man do I love a Lovecraftian tale), Kritzer's "Containment Zone." But the best story, hands down (and worth four stars on its own) was Marc Laidlaw's "Rooksnight." So good that it sent me down an internet rabbit hole looking for Laidlaw's work (and stumbling upon two Gorlen and Spar stories!) until I realized that I'd spent hours and hours with Laidlaw already, via Half-Life.
