A review from Grim Blogger here:
http://grimreviews.blogspot.com/2010...-reviewed.html

Thanks so much for this substantial review. I shall be ever in your debt - null immortalis.

Including...

"The stories crafted and laid out by Lewis' impeccable editorial selection amounts to nothing less than a feast for all the senses, and a gallery of literary iconography for the intellect that cannot help but prompt deep contemplation. "

"These tales, these books, are nothing less than dreams laboriously rendered into prose. The horrors, the heavens, and the gray voids in between preserved by the editor and his authors are attempts to communicate their visions on a common theme in a dialogue as labyrinthine as any philosophical discourse, and far more entertaining. Null Immortalis' probing into space, psyche, and time is four-dimensional, and few story collections ever chance at achieving this. For this reason, Nemonymous will be missed, and will one day live on in collectors' clutches, occasionally crossing vast distances for large sums of money. Null Immortalis is a distinguished epitaph for the series, but it may also drift into the future as relentlessly as the fan blades on its cover, a subversive ark intent on spawning new literary flora when and where they are least expected."

Null Immortalis is practically all one could wish for in an anthology. In a different sense, it pleasantly reminded me of the way certain publications used to be a few decades ago (I'm thinking of magazines like Tekeli-Li, Dagon, and anthologies so packed full of great fiction that you would literally read them cover-to-cover instead of just browsing through). I have no doubt that some of these Null Immortalis stories will be reappearing in story collections by their authors.

Thanks for assembling a fantastic finale, Des. I'm all the more honored to have been part of the Nemonymous series.

I can't wait for this to develop!

A new review:
"At that moment Tullis heard a sound from behind him – a dry shuffling noise that could surely only be the wind… At any rate he didn’t turn to look, rather kept his gaze on the woman in front of him. She didn’t appear to have detected any movement… so there simply couldn’t be any"

Just exhumed this. Thanks again, Starrysothoth. Hope you are well. Not seen you around for quite a while.
