Reactions and Reviews

There were a couple of stories that don't fit the general concept of this zine by any stretch of the imagination. They are not fantasies, nor do they contain fantasies. I am mystified about why there were included. It should be pointed out however, that this zine was edited by Ann Carver. This comment is not meant to reflect on the editing of Dovya Blacque, who has elected to keep this zine in print. The first of these incongruous stories is "The Runner" by Tay Garian. a moving account of trauma in Spock's past. Tay shows an acute understanding of the psychology of victimization, and I feel fortunate to be able to read this story, but it still doesn't belong in FANTASIES.
