Reactions and Reviews

(Avon/Anna) - [Bryn Lantry]: The famous "necrophilia" story (although suggested rather than stated) - Avon soliloquising Anna's corpse. Very much like Browning's _Porphyria's Lover_ in suggesting that only her death can give the lover absolute and unconditional possession of his beloved (although the fact that Anna wanted to kill him adds an extra twist to this). Packs a hell of a punch into three pages.[1]

Ok, this one I do genuinely like and am glad I read. Avon takes Anna’s body back up to the Liberator and reflects on how he can really be sure he can trust her now... Oh yes. Not going to run away this time. It’s weird and creepy – and makes sense given how fucked up Avon is by ‘Rumours of Death’. Good good.[2]

...was disturbing and I trust Bryn meant it that way. Frankly, it made me shudder. [3]

...'Ghosts and Ghouls' (Bryn Lantry can write). [4]

'Ghosts and Ghouls' was bonechillinq. giving me a definite 'gone' feeling in the pit of my stomach. [5]
