Book Excerpt for the Day


    There, against the wall, the suit of armor that the exiled king of Prussia had given us.  (We found his lost dog, averting a third World War.)  Next to it, in a glass case, a single tooth from Genghis Khan, full of his bloodlust and brilliance.  Over there, a pile of gold coins, invisibly tainted with the blood of a saint; and next to it, a deck of cards still imprisoning a circus of demons.

    (from Stupefying Stories 21, edited by Bruce Bethke)

     8½*/10.  The full review is here.
