"A Convocation of Clowns" reviewed

Tangent Short Fiction Review has reviewed the October issue of Shimmer Magazine. The reviewer commented on all of the stories in the issue, including mine, "A Convocation of Clowns." Here is the relevant bit:

"'A Convocation of Clowns' by Mel Cameron confirms every fear I’ve ever had about the circus devils in a short scene where a tiny car of clowns arrives in a line of traffic. All seems fine, if a bit weird, as the clowns offer balloon animals to drivers. But then they pop them. This story was scary to read and worse to imagine. 'A Convocation of Clowns' should not be read before heading off to the fair."

It was also briefly mentioned in this review, by the Internet Review of Science Fiction.

"This is characteristic of the other material in Shimmerzine: contemporary fantasy with a dark edge, from capering death clowns to predators among sheep-like shoppers. The lightest piece here is a fun little take on the rapture."

Fame and fortune are sure to follow.
