*Strange Horizons* review

"Putting the 'what the hell is interstitial?' question aside for the moment, this is a very nice collection of strange stories."

More of David Soyka's view, in considerable detail, at the Strange Horizons site.

Scenes from KGB

The KGB Fantastic Fiction showcase on Interfictions last week went smashingly -- and thanks to KGB co-host Ellen Datlow, you can see tons of pictures from the reading!

The latest reviews

Our newest biggest fan: "If you like literary fiction, weird fiction, or more simply, to read; then pick up this anthology." So sayeth Rick Kleffel at The Agony Column!

The Baltimore City Paper devotes some in-depth attention to Interfictions and its premise in an outstanding review by Adrienne Martini: "This idea of playing with genre conventions is interstitiality's charm and what makes it a movement for the hypertext age. We want words to do more now and for our time not to have been spent with just one idea. Make a list of what the earmarks are of any genre. Can you have something you can call science fiction if it doesn't have any notion of technology? Can you have traditional fiction without a sense that the writer's world is recognizably real? Can you label a text fantasy if it doesn't involve magic?"

A view from inside

In the days leading up to the official publication of Interfictions, contributing writer Michael J. DeLuca ("The Utter Proximity of God") undertook the bold task of reviewing each story in the book one at a time, his own included, on his blog. In his fascinating final post, he links back to each review and ponders how his perspective on interstitial fiction has changed — not just since writing his own story, but since reading the others.

A new Dora & Delia interview...

...is online at the blog Yatterings. The Interfictions editors continue to delve into the whys and wherefores of interstitial art in general and literature in particular!
