The Best of Pulphouse
(1991)The Hardback Magazine
An anthology of stories edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Publisher's Weekly
This collection of 25 stories from the first three years (12 issues) of Pulphouse contains horror, fantasy, SF and straight fiction. In her introduction Rusch ( The White Mists of Power ) observes that many of these stories have in common their defiance of categorization. In Lisa Goldstein's ''A Traveler at Passover'' the story of Elijah provides the catalyst that soothes a family's tensions and misunderstandings. ''The Soft Whisper of Midnight Snow'' by Charles de Lint ties together an artist's self-worth and creative ability. Both ''The Third Sex'' by Alan Brennert and Nancy A. Collins's ''The Two-Headed Man'' are reminiscent of Sturgeon in their consideration of love. The book is arranged in a progression--stories about sex precede those of violence and horror--and adjacent entries are often similar. Readers are advised to jump around to maximize their enjoyment.
