"Stories from Eileen Gunn are always a cause for celebration. Where will she lead us? 'Up the Fire Road' to a slightly alternate world. Into steampunk's heart. Never where we might expect."--

Review of 'Questionable practices' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

The introduction story, involving a love triangle, sasquatch, and maury povich is the standout story in the collection. There are a few other highlights too, particularly the tube punk story about brains in jars, and the set of elf stories. The book slows down around the quartet of steampunk stories, and the final meditation on pain and death feels less imaginative than the rest of the book.
