Both of them struck me at the time as Not Bad, the West story perhaps a scrap better...but I don't think I could cite a single incident from either. Probably the worst story by some distance Grania Davis ever published was the cover story of that issue, I can closely paraphrase from that...and the best stories in that issue were those by Janet Fox and by Bill Pronzini and Barry Malzberg, so there is that...<br /><br />The Paul Fairman ghost jobs, or at least THE RUNAWAY ROBOT, the only one I tried (several times) to read more than the opening passage of, were indeed dire. Happily, I had already read some good Del Rey around that time, and so was ready for "Nerves" (never have read the novel-expansion) and "Day is Done"...a real pity he apparently could never find his lost Just-So story he mentions in THE EARLY DEL REY. <br /><br />Thanks for the pointer here!Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
