Dislocations: Nine Stories of Speculation and Imagination

I'm going to have to agree with Duncan Lowie's review from Strange Horizons on this one: "DisLOCATIONS is firmly in the middle ground of current British SF. It could be accused of being a little unadventurous, but that's is almost a way of saying that none of the stories are failures. This is a satisfying collection of well written, fully imagined stories."

Andrew Hook's "The Glass Football" is the story that stands out for me - probably a reflection of the fact that I don't normally read that much slipstream, and thus find it a nice change. Amanda Hemingway's "The Convention" and Pat Cadigan's "Among Strangers" provide some light comic relief.

I have to admit I am not too fond of either of the two stories which are nominated for this show more year's BSFA Awards (Chaz Brenchley's "Terminal" and Ken MacLeod's "Lighting Out"). show less

Was very impressed by this collection, even by the stories that didn't grab me as much as the truly excellent ones.

Well put together and highly recommended!
