Dan,

Thanks for the great review! It's a really neat feeling for me, that after nearly 15 years, people are still enjoying that book.

I did note one thing I thought I should mention. Not many people have noticed it, but the "organization" of the book is set up very much in a mock-chronology of horror film history.

In other words, after reading all the scenarios, I set them in order of "when I thought this movie might have been made."

I mention this only because in the fish people scenario, I too was a bit put off by the forced impregnation. However, I thought it was a fine scenario, and to me it struck a, "Aha! This is sleaze cinema circa 1982" vibe. Honestly, I could really see that movie having been made around the time of "Humanoids From the Deep" "Piranha 2: The Spawning" and other epically-terrible films from the early 80's.

If you look at the scenarios in order, I think you'll sort of see what I mean. I hope so, anyway...

In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed the book!
