“Addy in My Mind” now available at anthologybuilder.com.

Foster’s characters are three-dimensional and sympathetic, and her writing lacks no polish
—Douglas Hoffman, The Fix

Received an honorable mention in The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Twenty-Fifth Annual Collection, edited by Gardner Dozois. “Close to Death” in Shiny, #1, Sept. 2007.

an entertaining story with observations on life and death
—Shaun C. Green, The Fix

From the first issue my favorite was Eugie Foster’s “Close to Death”, a lighthearted piece about a literal encounter with Death on an Atlanta freeway.

“The Few, the Proud, the Leech Corps” now available at anthologybuilder.com.

“The Few, the Proud, the Leech Corps” mixes elements from different genres, and while technology and urban guerrilla tactics certainly play a role in the action parts of this graphic story, it is the immortal fascination with vampires and the attractive, sensual imagery associated with them that captivates . . . reminiscent of one of David Cronenberg’s nightmarish scenes.

Foster effectively chronicles the protagonist’s transition to an alternate plane of existence which appears to parallel a descent into madness, but is in truth a heightened reality.

“Only Springtime When She’s Gone” now available at anthologybuilder.com.

(Then check out the”Son the Stain Made” series of the Aberrant Dreams web comic, Slip of the Pen.)

Eugie Foster’s darkly fantastic take on the origins of the vampire . . . This is a wonderful story, the other standout of the issue, along with Page’s Aihai. Foster is meant for great things.
—James Palmer, Tangent

Winner of the 2009 Nebula Award for Best Novelette and currently a nominee for the 2010 Hugo Award for Best Novelette.

Eugie Foster’s stunning novelette, “Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast” [originally published in Interzone] is the highlight of Apex Magazine’s August 2009 issue…Foster paints this uniquely imagined society in vivid hues, by turns beautiful and terrifying. She draws the reader in with lush descriptions and holds her by doling out tantalizing morsels just as the reader craves them. From its intriguing beginning to its shocking end, “Sinner, Baker, Fabulist, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast” is a gem not to be missed.
—Kimberly Lundstrom, The Fix

A gorgeous, dark and unexpectedly creepy story…With this tale Foster questions not just societal roles, but those of relationships, gender and caste as well. A highly recommended read.

While this tale is grounded in the well-known story of Taira no Masakado, Foster skillfully slips this variation in between the cracks of the historical account and the subsequent legends, warping it in a different direction. The ending of the frame story delivers a strong final twist…RECOMMENDED
