I think the loose bridging theme allows each writer to focus their ideas, and the strongest ones are almost alw" Read more of this review »

Dan Coxon and 17 other people liked Blair's review of For Tomorrow: "The starting point for this anthology is Wellbrook High School, at which (we’re told) a terrible and infamous ‘Event’ took place in 1993, leaving only a handful of survivors. Styled as a recreation of the 1993 yearbook, For Tomorrow is a set of stori" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Dan Coxon (?)

“The membrane between worlds was thinner out here than the inland-dwelling peoples could ever realise, so they expected no help.”
― Dan Coxon, This Dreaming Isle

“Enough of happy. I’m sick of happy. The prison of it, a weight on my lungs. The thing I should be aiming to feel, and make others feel. It’s a relief when the pleasant young man asks me instead, ‘Can you remember a time in the village when you were sad?”
― Dan Coxon, This Dreaming Isle
