Family Reunion by Sean Stewart and Steve Lieber


I guess this was meant as some sort of comic preview to Sean Stewart's novel "Perfect Circle." Well, it worked on me. I probably would have never read the novel (I don't read many science fiction novels) before seeing this but now I'm going to get it next time I'm at the library. It reads more like a slice of life story with ghosts that what I usually think of as typical SF. The story is simple, a down on his luck guy attends a family reunion and sees the ghost of his cousin who died in Vietnam. The story is funny and bittersweet and the twist is nice too. And, if you didn't know, Steve Lieber is the master of understated brilliance.
