The Best of Pulphouse: The Hardback Magazine (1991) by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.65Mb
Overview: 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.
From 1992 through 1994, Pulphouse: The Hardback Magazine was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Semiprozine.
