Paul Abbamondi just reviewed Prime Codex the anthology from Paper Golem that I have a story in. A short piece that is positively sure to get you to mutter “a-ha!” at its cruelly twisted reveal, “Rampion” by Mary Robinette Kowal is the sort of story that is most enjoyable on its first read. Read it

Tangent Online reviews Apex #9 “Locked In†by Mary Robinette Kowal is a dark and serious piece of flash fiction that’ll disturb readers on any side of the “Pro-Life/Pro-Death†issue. The story is emotionally engaging, provocative, and leaves you thinking. A fine read that I highly recommend, but only to those who haven’t had to

Matt Wallace reviewed Apex #9 and had this to say about my story. Next up, flash fiction from Mary Robinette Kowal. It pains me to say this, but “Locked In” really didn’t get it done for me. It certainly didn’t have the impact that it seemed to have on others. I love Ms. Kowal to
We got a lovely review at Tangent Online for the Winter 2007 issue of Shimmer The Winter 2007 issue of Shimmer, edited by by Beth Wodzinski, is full of magic, love, poetic prose, and again, magic. Not the kind of magic you expect in traditional fantasy stories—spells and bewitchment—but the kind of magic that pulses

Every time I handle one of our vintage typewriters, I wish my laptop were so beautiful. So, I’m going to take steps to have the pretty, pretty laptop I want. This is the sort of project that I don’t have time to do, and basically amounts to escapism. Since my laptop is my only computer,
SFRevu has a nice positive review of the issue and devotes a sentence to my story. In “Locked In”, Mary Robinette Kowal gives us a two-page thriller.

Another HorrorScope: review of Apex # 9 is up at Horrorscope. A piece of flash follows next with Locked In by Mary Robinette Kowal. It wouldn’t be included here if it wasn’t engaging. It concerns euthanasia in a domestic setting involving a mute participant. Of course, with any cool piece of flash, the ball doesn’t

You can read the full review of Apex Digest #9 at the Whispers of Wickedness website. Here’s what they say about my story. “Locked In” by Mary Robinette Kowal is a good short story. I like the premise and the flow of the story a lot, but for me the ending was a little weak.

Artemisin reviews Apex Digest Number 9 and has this to say about “Locked In.” Mary Robinette Kowal has a sick mind and Locked In, one of the shortest stories of this issue, is also the one I’ve found most terrifying so far. It’s another medical dystopia about a paralyzed man who cannot communicate with the

Well, actually Michele Lee reviews all of Apex 9, but my story “Locked In” is in there. Locked In by Mary Robinette Kowal is a nasty bit of text wedged into this issue. The other stories were safe, but this one is downright dangerous. The hazard comes, not from technology spinning out of control, but

Rob and I went to see Inland Empire David Lynch’s new film. My review is three letters long. WTF? I will elaborate. I defy anyone to tell me that if they had seen this movie without knowing who the director was–if they had walked into a student film festival and saw this exact film, that
