ANNA TAMBOUR

Writer of the unclassifiable Photographer of the unnoticed
"Anna Tambour is a rogue punk-prophetess whose writings not only stray from the beaten path; some of them are so far out there that you can hear the distant drums of strange story-tribes being awakened by her prose." -- Ian O’Reilly, British Fantasy Society

"Her love for the lives and fortunes of the small is most evident to me in her dog-centered stories. “The Dog Who’d Been Dead”, “Shaking Heaven’s Fleas”, and “Bones from Heaven” involve the afterlife of dogs—where they go, what concerns them, how they feel about the humans with whom they are so closely linked, and their own relationship with d/Death. Tambour beautifully enters into the minds and souls of dogs here, and if nothing else, her concern for the little ones, human creation’s overlooked ones, makes her work and this collection in particular immensely rewarding." -- Jeremy Brett, The SFF Librarian Reviews, Ancillary Review of Books, August 2023

"An awful lot in this book. As with her magnificent CRANDOLIN, perhaps too much. Yet it is not a book measured for a market, and we need more of that. Tambour has, I hope, quite a few more coming. And I hope that the market finds her. The language she is evolving for telling the kinds of wild and biting stories she is interested in is part vernacular, part natural historian, full of wit and pulling its drama from an assumed sharing of empathy for those in the predicaments in which her characters find themselves." - Paul Voermans, "Technique of Awful: When Extremity Takes Us Past the Real", 10/22/2017, The New York Review of Science Fiction

"It would be inaccurate to say each story in The Finest Ass in the Universe takes your hand and pulls you into its world Rather, each story dunks you headlong into the vortex of its world."
– Cecilia Quirk, review in The Melbourne Review of Books

" If you are looking for an anthology which will do things to stories that you really weren’t expecting; and makes it work then The Finest Ass in the Universe is for you."
– Ian O'Reilly, British Fantasy Society review
