Starred PW Review for CONSERVATION OF SHADOWS

Publishers Weekly:

[Starred] Lee’s short fiction has been lauded by respected anthologists and discerning readers; this fine collection of 16 stories (one original) gives Lee’s work the chance to reach the wider audience it deserves. Of particular interest are “Ghostweight,” whose protagonist’s desire for revenge brings terrible results, and the thematically related “Effigy Nights.” These provide an interesting contrast to the moral dilemma faced by the heroine of “Swanwatch,” whose masters have placed her in a cruel game. As the author’s notes make clear, Lee draws on a wide range of inspirations, using other genre fiction and Korean history as a seeds around which to crystalize stories. Lee’s stories are often dark and tragic, and always worth the reader’s time

Kirkus Reviews: SUPERHEROES

“[O]n the whole, Superheroes is a good anthology with solid stories. Best of all, unlike some of my previous forays reading superheroes stories, reading this was thankfully (mostly) free of Vein-Popping Moments of Deep Distress. By that, I mean: Taken as a whole, the stories were not sexist, managing to skirt writing stereotypically hyper-sexualized female characters, for example. Also good: There are several stories featuring PoC and the anthology has a great balance between female and male authors. Those points already make this a successful anthology…I really enjoyed this anthology and highly recommend it to superheroes enthusiasts . . . ”
