ON SAFARI IN R'LEYH AND CARCOSA WITH GUN AND CAMERA by Elizabeth Bear is a fascinating short story, written in a mixed style of Lovecraft and Bradbury. I love the hook at the beginning, and the delivery of the timeline. The author doesn't bog down readers with too many details, and yet manages to create more than one unique creature within a captivating setting.

I recommend this one to all readers, regardless of genre preference.

As always,
AstraDaemon
