Some insights from the editors
Crossing the Line
Canadian Mysteries with a Fantastic Twist
David Skene-Melvin and I edited this anthology of crime-fiction
stories that also happen to be science fiction, fantasy, or
horror, published by Pottersfield Press of Nova Scotia in October
1998.
"Who says you can't mix crime and speculative
fiction? Certainly not the authors in this excellent anthology.
The editors have carefully chosen good writing that contains
elements of horror, science fiction, fantasy and mystery, and
kept it Canadian. For those who haven't yet discovered the
crossover talents of Robert J. Sawyer, this is a great way
to begin. The book also affords an excellent introduction to the
vampire mysteries of Tanya Huff, the elegant stylistics of
William Gibson, the marvelous ghost stories of
Robertson Davies, and a clever little tale by one of my
favourite authors, Terence M. Green.
Margaret Cannon in The
Globe and Mail: Canada's National Newspaper
"This is a reprint collection of SF and
fantasy mysteries with Canadian themes, and if you thought that
was too restrictive to allow a good assortment, you'd be wrong.
There's not a bad or mediocre story in the lot."
Science Fiction Chronicle
"Great writing fresh and skillful tales, following
in their genre's traditions. I enjoyed all of them. To the extent that
you like good writing in any genre and are a mystery fan with catholic
tastes, you will thoroughly appreciate these stories."
