Another new review of Wastelands today, this time from The Book Swede. He claims to be a bit of a newbie when it comes to short fiction, and I’m happy to say that Wastelands seems to have inspired him to try more:

For some reason, I’ve always shied away somewhat from short stories — perhaps I thought there just weren’t enough words to do any "proper" story justice, or that somehow I was being cheated out of a really good read … and as a result, this anthology is the first I’ve ever read. Perhaps I thought … well, whatever I thought, I was wrong. Very, very wrong. […] A very good anthology, and, for a short story newbie like me, a good taster of what it’s all about. A very high 9/10.
