Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Hello there, just wanted to second Phil’s praise for Anders’ brilliant Ghost Champagne. If you write fiction yourself, do yourself a favour and have a good look at this story. Using the simplest, most direct means – a loose, colloquial style and a ratting psycho-supernatural breakdown/breakthrough yarn to unspool – Anders shows just what a really classy writer can do. In just over 6000 words, she’s basically written a novel. A really excellent short story can contain an entire life, a whole world, while feeling as light and bubbly as…well, a glass of champagne, obviously. As Phil notes, this story crackles along on a seriously funny streak balanced to perfection with proper heart-scorching moments of human empathy. Her characters are so real you feel their presence in scenes they’re not present in, through the implied space they occupy in the narrator’s awareness – just like in real life! Seriously, do read this story, it’s a gem. Cheers!

      Glad you liked the review! Flattered to be mistaken for Phil, but yeah, Anders might be the best sci-fi writer working today. We should be so lucky to have someone like her in “our” genre. Can’t wait to read ‘All the Birds in the Sky’.
