miracles and conundrumsMiracles and Conundrums of the Secondary Planets by Jacob M. Appel

I had previously reviewed Appel’s novel, The Biology of Luck, in Prime Number Magazine, so I was pleased to receive a copy of his latest story collection.

My review of the book appears in Best New Fiction.

(And yes, I know I’ve labeled this post with “2015”–I read and reviewed the book in December.)
