April 23, 2916: "Unique Chicken Goes In Reverse" by Andy Duncan

[Smiley]

Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EDST) on April 23rd, 2016 (23:30 P.M. (GMT), April 23rd), for a discussion of "Unique Chicken Goes In Reverse" by Andy Duncan.  

 

The story, was published was originally published in the anthology Eclipse One, edited by Jonathan Strahan (Night Shade Books, 2007). Nebula and Shirley Jackson Award nominee. Reprinted in Nebula Awards Showcase 2009, edited by Ellen Datlow (Roc, 2009).  Although the story appeared in various science fiction publications and Duncan is considered a sci-fi author, it does not seem like science fiction or fantasy.  The story is hard to classify other than to say it is a damned good tale, entertaining and thought provoking tale.a fairly typical offering by the magazine, one that requires little intellectual effort to understand and rewards us with a few moments of effortless escape from the stresses of daily life.  If we are not particularly stressed, consider it a quick digression from whatever real life tasks we might be involved in.

 

Duncan appears as our featured author for the second time this month by popular demand.  We had a very interesting chat about his story "Bluthahatchie" earlier this month and this tale, although quite different, should prove as stimulating.   I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

 

The story is available on line at:  http://www.nightshadebooks.com/Downloads/UniqueChicken.htm
