Book Recommendation: If I Were An Evil Overlord....

[thewayne]

Paperback, edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Russell Davis, it was released earlier this year IIRC. Contains several short stories on the subject, including stories by Esther Friesner and Tanya Huff (Tanya's a new fav of mine, and her story is cool). Some stories that I particularly liked were The Life and Death of Fortune Cookie Tyrant, by Dean Wesley Smith, Gordie Culligan vs Doctor Longbeach and the HVAC of Doom, by J. Steven York (yes, HVAC = heating/ventilation/air conditioning), and Art Therapy, by Nina Kiriki Hoffman.


Anyway, definitely recommended.

Very nice hearing from you, Steve! Yes, I quite enjoyed the story and would love to see more Culligan stories: my dad is a retired industrial plumber, so I knew immediately what HVAC was.

I'll definitely be checking out your sites: I read 20-30 web comics a day, so adding another is no big deal. ;-)
