Looking for a wonderful collection of short stories? Check out Benjamin Rosenbaum’s The Ant King and Other Stories. Ben’s stories are weird, highly plausible despite their weirdness, and really smart. There is no other writer whose work most reminds me of Claymation films, and that is a very good thing in my opinion.

what an interesting reference point–claymation. some of the pieces are more like the Brothers Quay.
Ha!
Thank you Mr Barzak. I am now trying to map my stories onto claymation epics. Which one is a Wallace and Gromit movie, I wonder?
