Reception
Colin Greenland reviewed 'Frost' for 'Imagine' magazine, and stated that "It's a grim and tearful story, and for all its imaginative conviction I found it hard going, Van Sycoc is rather too lavish with her characters' misery."
Dave Langford reviewed 'Darkchild' for 'White Dwarf' #56, and stated that "'Darkchild' succeeds through evocative writing and 'information feed', that unobstructive trickle of data which [...] keeps satisfying your curiosity and at the same time stimulating it with fresh questions concerning the way things are."
