Aliens: No Exit by B.K. Evenson

3.0

It's not too different than what you might expect from the cover, but better in all the ways it is different. Mostly you forget this novel was written by Brian Evenson, but when you remember, it's because you've stumbled upon a sentence or paragraph that could only come from a master. Most of the sentences and paragraphs, however, make me wonder about the boundary between a master's economy and a hack's simple lack of depth. But aside from its entertainment value, the best part of this book is the way it addresses those preconceptions that even the broad-minded still often have of genre fiction.
