Reward!

I should also mention that Neil Clarke, the guy who runs Clarkesworld Magazine (where I read slush, in case anyone out there doesn't know that) sent us slush readers a present.  It's a BOOK!  I like books.  ^_^  (If you hate links, it's Tides from the New Worlds by Tobias Buckell.  It's a beautiful hardcover copy, signed and lettered.  Even if you hate links you should click on that one because the cover art really is stunning.) So far I've read the first few stories, and I've enjoyed them immensely. If anyone is looking to pick up a new short story collection to add to their shelves, this is a good one.
