"'A Fish in Chocolate Cake' by Pamela Briggs is my favourite [in The Urbanite #8: Fabulous Creatures].
Her wonderfully observed characters are instantly engaging and the uncanny plot unfolds like a magic trick." – Tony Lee, Zene #12 "Other standouts [in Young Blood] are...two gross-outs [including] 'Hysterical' by Pamela Briggs..." – Linda Marotta, Fangoria "Cool story. I liked it. Very gross." – Poppy Z. Brite on "Hysterical" "Briggs pulls off a difficult story-telling challenge: creating a dynamic tale out of a bedridden point-of-view character [in "Come to My Senses"]. But she does. Anthea's voice works." – James Van Pelt, Tangent Online "Tooth & Nail: Two Stories by Pamela Briggs are two reprints by a newcomer to watch." – Ellen Datlow, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror: Ninth Annual Collection "With its twisted look at beauty politics, 'Lee's Own' [in The Brood of Sycorax]...makes for great feminist horror fiction." – Miriam Wolf, Factsheet Five – Jenny B, The British Fantasy Society Newsletter "Pamela Briggs takes a truly different look at the commonplace in 'Lunch with Janoscz, the Deconstruction Worker.' This is the best story of the issue; it tells its tale quietly and effectively, but ends up taking the reader to a truly weird place." – James J. Murray, Tangent "Another of my favorites from this issue was 'Lunch with Janoscz, the Deconstruction Worker' . . . truly a strange experience . . . The dialogue here is fun to read, more than humorous, and quite clever." – Andrea Locke, Deathrealm See a synopsis of "Lunch with Janoscz, the Deconstruction Worker" Good reviews of Pamela's stories have appeared in:
