Product Description
The Gazette, August 7, 2004
Memorable moments of brilliant wit and storytelling.
Product Description
What do Jayne Mansfield, Pythagoras, Disney "imagineers," and the Virgin Mary have in common? They are all privileged to be protagonists in the stories in Paul Di Filippo's newest collection. Twenty tales to rock the mind, of mental pygmies and product placement, gentle giants and teen witches. The title story is a Robert Williams cartoon come to life, in which the narrator races roadsters in "a match of Cosmic Chicken out in space" with a pair of visiting aliens. The inimitable Di Filippo is known for his calculated lack of restraint and his incredible stylistic versatility.

Twenty impossible-to-catalog tales, Oct 12 2004
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Neutrino Drag: Stories (Paperback)
Fans of Paul DiFilippo will readily acknowledge his penchant for sexy, funky tales: he was the author of the Steampunk Trilogy which offered a whole new twist on the genre of science fiction, he's been nominated for a Sturgeon Award, a Hugo and a World Fantasy Award, and he specializes in unusual settings and plots. One would expect the same of his latest Neutrino Drag: Stories - and he doesn't disappoint. Here are twenty impossible-to-catalog tales ranging from teen witches and the Virgin Mary to alternate worlds of paranoia and even tongue-in-cheek humor. Highly recommended; especially for prior DiFilippo fans.
