Tangent Online just posted a review of Shimmer, which includes these gems of our own Hatrack writers.

About onepktjoe, the review said:

quote:
J. Albert Bell’s “Finders Keepers” sheds some light on the afterlife, a recurring theme in this premier issue. Rupert works for a Mr. Fox, who has done many bad things, such as making way too much in illegal money and ordering the murders of dozens of people. On a rainy night, loud knocks sound at the door and a mysterious man arrives with something Mr. Fox has longed for his entire life. But what will it cost Mr. Fox—and Rupert—to keep it?

An interesting take on several old ideas, Bell’s description and vivid setting skills show his talent as an upcoming name-to-be-remembered...


And mccameron's "A Convocation of Clowns" got this very nice mention:

quote:
“A Convocation of Clowns” by Mel Cameron confirms every fear I’ve ever had about the circus devils in a short scene where a tiny car of clowns arrives in a line of traffic. All seems fine, if a bit weird, as the clowns offer balloon animals to drivers. But then they pop them. This story was scary to read and worse to imagine. “A Convocation of Clowns” should not be read before heading off to the fair.

Congratulations all around, but sometimes it's hard to sort out who's who with the multiplicity of posting names. I know people want to protect their identities...but I've always wanted credit for what I've done, even if it's just a post or twelve...

I had no idea this was onepktjoe . Congrats to both of you, and to all of you Shimmery people who worked very hard to get these into print.

Congrats!

I have the (very lovely) print version of Shimmer on my bookshelf. I loved the first issue... looking forward to the second.
