Gillian Polack at Bibliobuffet write a positive "not normal" review of Ghost Seas, which isn't really a "normal" book.
The anthology works as a whole. Each story is separate and unlinked. Utley’s style though, is strong enough and idiosyncratic enough to hold everything together. If the book is a bell, then each story resonates slightly differently and the whole is very harmonic. And this is where my view of this anthology is different to my view of most anthologies. With most anthologies I assess and see if they work as a whole. With Utley’s there is no need: it resonates.
