"Who Looks Back" Reviewed!
From Shotguns v Cthulhu, released last December by Stone Skin Press.
"A few of the best are Kyla Ward's "Who Looks Back?" in which adventure-seeking tourists run into something nasty on a New Zealand volcano; "Old Wave" by Rob Heinsoo, about the cultural cost of encountering the Mythos in the Pacific; and Kenneth Hite's erudite and clever archaeological case study "Infernal Devices". Most of the rest of the collection are good; those three are great."
- Dave Versace, goodreads.com, 10 June 2013.
I honestly consider this to be one of my better works and regret that it fell through the cracks regarding the Aurealis and Australian Shadow Awards, not to mention any applicable Year's Best. Due to the exceptionally late release of the three Stone Skin anthologies, there was some confusion and I made the wrong call.
Still, a comment like that - not mention having the opening story such an excellent volume - is its own reward.
