Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I didn't know either of the authors of this book so this was a pure 'blind date'. It took some time (pages) before I got hooked on this book but once that happened, I zapped through it. To me this was one of these books, where at the end you feel disappointed having completed it, so I guess that's a good sign. Yes, there may perhaps be some inconsistencies between the stories and the different authors' view on the Limbus coorporation but I didn't feel this as an issue while reading. It just felt like a global company with its own specifies depending on where in the world you are working with them. So I'm giving 3.5/5, decent rating for a decent book. ( )
"This shared-world anthology about a mysterious metaphysical employment agency is pleasingly consistent in tone. The execution and intriguing theme leave the reader wanting more." “In this initial volume of a shared-world anthology, five authors provide their takes on one-of-a kind jobs that are not always survivable. VERDICT: Though the employment agency frame might not seem compelling, the stories cut to the heart of sf, fantasy, and horror.” “I can honestly say that all of the stories in Limbus, Inc. were riveting – to the point of being mesmerizing. If you are looking for an anthology that is truly different from the run of the mill, and one that takes itself seriously enough to commission the best tales from its first class authors, then I highly recommend you pick up Limbus, Inc.” Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Limbus, Inc.

How lucky do you feel? So reads the business card from LIMBUS, INC., a shadowy employment agency that operates at the edge of the normal world. LIMBUS's employees are just as suspicious and ephemeral as the motives of the company, if indeed it could be called a company in the ordinary sense of the word. In this shared-world anthology, five heavy hitters from the dark worlds of horror, fantasy, and scifi pool their warped take on the shadow organization that offers employment of the most unusual kind to those on the fringes of society.
One thing’s for sure – you’ll never think the same way again about the fine print on your next employment application! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
