Wow. Charles de Lint reviewed A Girl Like Sugar in the December issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine. De Lint’s one of my favourite Canadian SF/fantasy writers.

He took issue with Michael Turner’s cover blurb about the novel being “like an episode of Buffy directed by John Waters”, but seemed to like everything else about it.

Here’s a quote:

The strength of the book is Pohl-Weary’s winning prose and the spunky (if at times world-weary) first person voice of her protagonist.

In other news, Kiss Machine #10 was reviewed in Matrix Magazine:

The mag’s editors have neither sought to swat the hat over our eyes, nor bolster their zine’s durability by high-talking trash culture… Kiss Machine #10 proved thoroughly distracting; a trashyland where you delight to wonder if you’re reading paper or pulp.
