Summary: A Delight, a Surprise, and an Original
Comment: Andy Duncan is a delight, a surprise, and an original. If you haven't yet sampled his work, in "Beluthahatchie and Other Stories" you've got the pleasure of discovering a huge new talent ahead of you. And if you're already familiar with his beautifully written and crafted stories, "Beluthahatchie and Other Stories" allows you to re-read, rediscover, and relish them as often as you wish -- and if you're like me, you'll find yourself dipping into this wonderful collection again and again.

Summary: Every story a winner
Comment: This book just won the World Fantasy Award and for good reason! My favorite story is "Fortitude" an alternate history fantasy about George Patton, but every story is unique and remarkable. And if you buy this book, don't let it sit on your shelf unread. Read one story at random and you will fall in love with Duncan's writing style and will probably finish the entire book in one sitting (I know I did!).

Summary: The debut of an astonishing new talent
Comment: Andy Duncan writes brilliant stories.
That's all I need to say. He puts words down on paper and they look beautiful! This collection, from the magnificent Golden Gryphon press, collects all of Andy Duncan's early published work. The stories are by turns, beautiful, poignant, and sometimes horrific.
My favorite story of the collection is 'The Executioner's Guild'. This incredible novella is set in a small Southern town. The town is abuzz because the Execution wagon is coming to town. The Executioner is a young man whose job it is to perform Executions for the state. The story becomes really interesting when the Executioner's mysterious mentor unexpectedly arrives in town and the Executioner must come to grips with the true importance of his job. This story will leave you thinking long after you've put the book down.
There are other stories in this collection of equal quality: 'Liza and the Crazy Water Man', 'Fenneman's Mouth', 'Grand Guignol', 'From Alfano's Reliquary', and the title story 'Beluthahatchie', set in a suburb of Hell.
It's a genuinely exciting experience to stumble across a relatively new author. If you're not familiar with Andy Duncan, you should definitely check out this explosive new author. Duncan's stories remind me a lot of those by another Southern author, Howard Waldrop. Whatever their similarities and differences, both are incredible authors. Duncan's published stories since this collection have maintained his very high level of excellence. I have every reason to believe that Andy Duncan will be a very big name in short speculative fiction. Don't miss this collection. Highly recommended.
