About this Item

1st edition. Honestly, this collection is worth it just for Schuyler Hernstrom's Gift of the Ob-men, a Vancian fantasy that packs more of an epic feel into a dozen or so pages than most multi-volume series do over several thousand.

Review

"Cirsova is a godsend for fans who've almost given up on contemporary SF." – Brian Niemeier, Kairos

"Stuff like this doesn't come around every day, even if it should." – JD Cowan, And Between the Wasteland and Sky

“[Cirsova] attempts to re-capture the high adventure spirit of the great pulp mags — and largely succeeds.” John O’Neill, Black Gate Magazine.

“Cirsova has built a stage for writers to tell stories with narrative force, audacious adventure, and outlandishly magnificent settings.” Fletcher Vredenburgh, Black Gate Magazine
