"A Wild Trip of Experiences" -- The Universe Box Reviewed in The Skiffy and Fanty Show

 .



Another day, another review to be grateful for. This one is by Trish Matson in The Skiffy and Fanty Show. Much of the review focuses on the female characters in The Universe Box's stories. Which, when you're a reviewer of genre fiction and a woman is pretty much a moral duty. I will confess that I was a little nervous here. Mastodons still roamed the steppes when I was young and sexism was the flavor of the era so, despite all the lessons learned in the millennia since, I'm still wary of unrecognized biases.

But I didn't trip any warning alarms. Phew!

According to Ms. Matson, The Universe Box "took me on a wild trip of experiences, with tones ranging from surrealistic to snappy, giggly to grim, and much more, and left me with a lot to think about."
