bookafnd reviewed Three moments of an explosion by China Miéville

excellent collection of weird fiction

5 stars

like most of miéville's work, it's not for the faint of heart—several of the stories, like "Säcken", are positively horrific. (most of them are merely bizarre and mindbending.)

some of my favorites: "Polynia"; "The Condition of New Death"; "The Dowager of Bees"; "The Buzzard's Egg"; "A Second Slice Manifesto".
