Old Stories

It was too hot to do much, earlier today.

I happened to notice an old copy of Amazing Science Fiction (Jan 1985) sitting on the shelf and read a couple of stories in it. One was ""MS found in a Cruet Set" by Sharon N. Farber, and the other was "After the Guillotine" by Tanith Lee. I loved the first story, a wonderful pastiche about what Sherlock Holmes was like when doping up with a 7% solution. The second was about the idea of what happens after death. Very interesting and oddly calming.

Funny that you should mention 1985!

I'm almost done with Greg Bear's "Eon" (1/10th or so left).

It was released that year...strange to see our (almost done with) current year of 2005 and how he thought it would turn out (Soviet Union extant!)
