Product Details |
Product Description
Jonathan Strahan, Locus
“Swanwick shows that Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg may have missed the . . . commercial appeal of bringing dinosaurs back to life.”
Product Description
This latest collection from renowned science fiction author Michael Swanwick contains 15 short-short stories on dinosaur themes. These dinosaurs are steely bureaucrats, genetically engineered Christmas toys, and beloved killer pets, clashing with immoral scientists, neighbourhood bullies, and society ladies with dangerous, sometimes moving, and wickedly funny consequences.

3.0 out of 5 stars
"34 pages.", July 27 2006
By RL Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Michael Swanwick's Field Guide to Mesozoic Megafauna (Paperback)
...I missed that little factoid when I ordered this stapled pamphlet of 1-page dino tales.
Of course it's wonderful reading. I read it in about 15 minutes. I just feel a little chided, for having paid so much, for so little. [Is that wrong, to measure an artistic work so trivially? Gardner Dozois mentions the word-value of his monstrous anthologies every year in his Forewards. You can get a good Swanwick fix via those books, sometimes, too.]
If you're a music fan (of a certain age), the analogy of the EP might work. Sure, you want to buy anything from a favorite artist, but $14? For a 5-song EP? Hm. (I'm thinking "Wide Awake in America," here.)
Listmania!
