    • Palaces Of The Crow by Ray Nayler

      I really liked Ray Nayler’s The Mountain In The Sea. I also liked The Tusks Of Extinction. But reading those back-to-back gave me pause: At times it seems to relish in describing the worst that humanity is capable of. It starts to veer into misanthropy. I said: I hope…
