I've just read Wolfe's new story "Pocketsful of
Diamonds" in Ed Kramer's anthology STRANGE ATTRACTION.
It's a wonderful piece of writing, very atmospheric,
very cunning; it seems to be an indirect retelling of
the Eden myth, with the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil taking the form of a toffee apple
which can talk. And also candy floss that can talk.
Weird fairground humour abounds.
