"In the Gingerbread House" reviewed in Tangent Online

Tangent Online, "the genre's premiere review magazine for short SF & Fantasy since 1993," has reviewed Electric Velocipede 17/18. Impressively, they actually covered every story in the double issue by giving a section to each of three reviewers. My story "In the Gingerbread House" didn't do so badly. Here's the review, by Kathleen M. Kemmerer:

The story “In the Gingerbread House” by Barbara Krasnoff is an urban fantasy set in Nazi Germany. A little girl taken backstage at the Berlin Opera is given a ”magic” paste jewel off the floor of the stage by her slightly older brother as a ruse to get her to stop crying. Unknown to those around her, however, the jewel talks to her and tells her the fate of each person she meets. This is at once a delightful whimsy and a fearful prospect in the tragic ends that these characters will suffer in the horrors of that period of world history. The story is a compelling and original triumph.

Not bad, huh?
