Jeffro Johnson over at the Castalia House blog has posted a glowing review of Beyond the Mist that almost makes me blush. This little quip I think sums it up:
Going by the blurbs, I was expecting sort of a science fiction version of Pilgrim’s Progress. Really, this is way better than that would have been.

In the official review of Sci Phi Journal Issue 2 over at Castalia House, the reviewer had this to say about my contribution:
There were two standouts in the fiction category: “The Quantum Process” by David Hallquist, a frightening snapshot of a mind duplication procedure gone wrong, and “Beyond the Mist” by Ben Zwycky, a new serial with a mind-bending beginning that hopefully will keep getting better.
Read the first chapter of Beyond the Mist and see if you agree with the reviewer.
I have to agree with the reviewer about “The Quantum Process”, it was the most powerful and best-written fiction contribution in the issue in my opinion. For my work to be placed alongside is praise indeed. I also hope that the continuation of the serial, appearing in Sci Phi Journal Issue 3 in January, will live up to people’s expectations.
