Typo of the Month

Locus is the semi-official magazine of SF-- its reviews are quoted almost as prominently as those of better-known mass media outlets in cover blurbs and the like-- but it remains a small operation, a "semi-prozine" in Hugo ballot terms. That means most issues aren't edited quite as carefully as they might be, and there are usually some typos or grammar errors in the reviews.

This month, there's a real gem, in Tim Pratt's review of Joe Lansdale's Retro-Pulp Tales:

Alex Irvine's "New Game in Town" is an exquisite story of small-time crooks and poo hustlers that takes a sharp turn into uncanny SF.

Hoo, boy, have we ever got trouble in River City...
