Today I read and reviewed my second story in a week that featured a golem. An interesting concept but not one I see explored often in fantasy stories. Both stories were well structured and both came from different online magazines.
To some extent it represents a broadening of perspectives in the speculative genre. Something I wholeheartedly enjoy. Stories are beginning to appear that cover subjects that include Oriental, Indian, and African mythologies. And so the speculative genre continues to roll forward as the world around us evolves.
