Synopsis / Contents: Postscripts #19, Summer 2009 ANTHOLOGY TITLE : ENEMY OF THE GOOD This Postscripts anthology is probably the best yet, containing gripping, stylish stories by some of the finest genre writers around. Daniel Abraham, author of the critically acclaimed Long Price Quartet, visits Victorian London in a steampunk tale both exciting and subtle; Matthew Hughes wittily confects another sardonic tale of the far-future Archonate and its greatest swindler and thief; Marly Youmans enters the world of Through the Looking Glass from a terrifying angle; Scott Edelman imagines the US military facing suicide bombers in the US heartland as civilization disintegrates; recent Edge Hill Prize winner for best UK collection in any genre Chris Beckett contemplates ultimate solitude in the company of a veteran space traveller; and M.K. Hobson excels herself with a brilliant supernatural Western, bringing demons into frontier Colorado. All this, plus strong tales from Andrew Hook, Tim Lees, Ron Savage, David N. Drake, Justin Cartaginese, and David T. Wilbanks.
