still more review goodness

Short fiction review site The Fix has posted a review of Sword & Sorceress 22, which you can read in its entirety here. As before, the review is mostly favorable. The reviewer got the name of my story's main character wrong (it's Caina, not Casilda), but she liked the story, so naturally all is forgiven. :)
Key quote about the story:
"Moeller crossbreeds the genres of fantasy, horror, and mystery, combining deliciously gory description, nimble pacing, and deft insertion of clues to render a tidy magical detective story. I’ve read enough mysteries that the form is creakingly obvious to me, so I appreciate when authors like Moeller take a worn-out form and elevate it to a punchier level by making every word count."
