"In the final analysis, of course, it doesn't much matter what the hell you call it. As the editors suggest, if you care, you'll know something is interstitial when you read it. And at least it will give you something to argue about if you're one of those people who hang around in the blogosphere and don't have to do things like go to work or raise kids, or you're an academic, and have a lot time on your hands. Putting the 'what the hell is interstitial?' question aside for the moment, this is a very nice collection of strange stories."

"Pragmatically, however – and interstitiality is first and foremost a movement born of pragmatism – right now there are gaps in genre categories, gaps in how people understand the difference between genres and marketing categories. Interstitial fiction is important because it can both point out and fill in these gaps. While the somewhat limited thematic scope of this initial Interfictions volume works against it as a manifesto, celebration or sampler of interstitiality – in some ways even as a collection of fiction &$150; readers willing to savour the stories of Interfictions individually will find their expectations largely met, and likely at times exceeded."
