Logorrhea

Nice review of the anthology Logorrhea, edited by John Klima, by Mark Graham for the Rocky Mountain News:

Highlights of the anthology include: Hal Duncan’s The Chiaroscurist about an artist who uses a local dwarf to represent the face of God in a fresco that takes nearly a decade to complete; the title story, Logorrhea,in which Michelle Richmond’s heroine is able to cure herself of her inane babbling when she meets a strange man whose flesh is composed of scales; and Tim Pratt’s From Around Here, which makes use of autochthonous (indigenous, native) as an earth spirit takes over a human body to find a serial killer. The most daunting task was taken up by Jeff Vander Meer, who offers 20 marvelous short short stories, each employing a different spelling demon, alphabetically from autochthonous to vivisepulture (the act or incidence of burying someone alive).
