Reviews
"So much fun! I'm loving this book ... the stories take place in Manitoba, but they transcend" -- Joanne Kelly, CBC Manitoba
"... a kaleidoscope of style and subject matter. Echoes of iconic storylines pulled from the annals of cult sci-fi, fantasy and suspense ring through Manitoba's landscape." -- The Uniter
"...the province is a harsh, demanding land but not without its beauty and rewards. Amazing what stories the contributors wrested from its soil. I confess this book exceeded my expectations. Well worth reading." -- Amazing Stories
