Rain, oceans, fog, mist, bogs\u2026and occasionally some blood. For me, no major standouts, but a few made me laugh, one made me uncomfortable, and overall not at all a bad collection.<\/p>\n<p>Long-time Norwescon people may be amused at seeing this one pop up \u2014 the editor and many of the authors were attending professionals at early Norwescons (around the NWC4 and NWC5 era), and I kept seeing it being mentioned in their bios. Eventually, my curiosity kicked in, and I found a used copy online. Mine is copy #22 of a run of 700. Going with the &#8220;wet&#8221; theme, the cover uses an altered version of publisher Hypatia Press (&#8220;Hywetia Press&#8221;), and the book is bound in a dark green and printed on light mossy green paper.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5841.jpeg\" alt=\"Me holding Wet Visions\" title=\"IMG_5841.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"749\" height=\"562\" \/><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book 11 of 2026: <cite>Wet Visions<\/cite> edited by Cyn Mason: \u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2049],"tags":[7017],"class_list":["post-52761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-photos","tag-cyn-mason"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52761"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52761\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52762,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52761\/revisions\/52762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
