This review will be short and sweet. I ordered Granville Gazette IV at the prompting of Kerryn and Bjorn Hasseler because of a story I was working on spec for the new 1632 magazine. I think the thing I want to say is that sometimes anthologies like this never quite find their true audience because they’re marketed towards science fiction conventions. But on actually READING some of the stories, they would be better marketed — at least for a large audience — towards the alt history literary crowd.

I really enjoyed what I read of them. Quiet and loud stories both, but equally at place in the large historical fiction segment of the bookstore.

I’ll be shelving this volume of Granville Gazette accordingly.
