Críticas:

"Impressive... This is no gimmicky set of sideshows but a powerful exploration of the blurry line between animal and human." -- Publishers Weekly (January 21, 2013, STARRED REVIEW) "Aficionados of apes in literature and film should enjoy this gathering of new and old stories." -- Library Journal (March 2013) "An eclectic, enjoyable mix of fiction and nonfiction ... the 17 stories and four original essays all show a remarkable degree of quality from the authors and the editor himself, who in interviews professed an early love for all things simian." -- SF Signal "These are all fine additions to any fantasy lover's library... Climb up into your tree, peel a banana, and enjoy the treats herein." -- Sci Fi Magazine "An eclectic, enjoyable mix of fiction and nonfiction..." -- SF Signal "These are all fine additions to any fantasy lover's library...

Reseña del editor:

In the Rue Morgue, the jungles of Tarzan, the fables of Aesop, and outer space, the apes in these seventeen fantastic tales boldly go where humans dare not. With a foreword from the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this provocative anthology delves into our cultural fascination with - and dread of - our simian cousins. These classic stories explore the lighter and darker sides of apes, mirroring our own deepest desires and anxieties. "Evil Robot Monkey" introduces a disgruntled chimp implanted with a chip that makes him cleverer than both his cohort and humans alike. In "Murders in the Rue Morgue," a murder mystery unravels with the discovery of a hair that does not appear quite human. Merging steampunk with slapstick, "The Ape-Box Affair" has a not-so-ordinary orangutan landing on Earth in a spherical flying ship--where he is promptly mistaken for an alien. King Kong sets a terrible example with booze and Barbie dolls in "Godzilla's 12-Step Program." If you've ever wondered what makes humans different from apes, soon you'll be asking yourself, is it less than we think?
