{{Anchor|Critical Reactions}}Critical receptionAllan's story Darkroom appeared in Subtle Edens: An Anthology of Slipstream Fiction edited by Allen Ashley Elastic Press in 2008.[18] In a review of the collection Andy Hedgecock wrote that Nina Allan is developing into, "one of the finest stylists of modern genre fiction." He went on to say that very few writers had her talent to uncover, "the strange within the ordinary with such clarity and precision."[19] Paul Kincaid in reviewing The Silver Wind asks when a series of stories can turn into a novel. He wrote that this was when, "the congeries of stories tell us more than any individual stories can." He suggests that this has been achieved and outlines the links between the stories before concluding that the sum of the parts is greater than the individual stories.[20] One of the links is the viewpoint character Martin who appears in different parallel realities. Sofia Samatar however in her review questioned whether or not there is a danger in Allan's experiment of the emotional force being, "more likely to be lost than gained in the leaps between parallel realities."[21]In Peter Tennant's 2014 review of The Race he wrote that this was "one of the finest books" he had read that year, but also wrote that he did not know what it was about and could "only hazard guesses." Although a novel, it is, "four self-contained sections that form a greater whole."[22] Sofia Samatar agrees that "The Race guards its secrets." She writes that, this is "a distancing novel about drawing in, a science fiction novel aware of its own artifice, a literary fiction impatient with mimesis."[23] References1. ^Interview in Rising Shadow {{CC-notice|bysa3|Nina Allan|otrs=1}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Allan, Nina}}2. ^{{cite book|last1=Horton|first1=edited by Rich|title=The year's best science fiction & fantasy 2012|date=2012|publisher=Prime Books|location=Rockville, Md.|isbn=9781607013440|edition=2012}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Jakubowski|first1=edited by Maxim|title=The mammoth book of best British crime.|date=2013|publisher=Robinson|location=London|isbn=9781780337937}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Horton|first1=edited by Rich|title=The year's best science fiction & fantasy 2013|date=2013|publisher=Prime Books|isbn=9781607013921|edition=2013}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Finch|first1=edited by Paul|title=Terror tales of london.|date=2013|publisher=Gray Friar Press|location=[S.l.]|isbn=9781906331399}} 6. ^As note 1 7. ^Aeon Award 2006 -2007 8. ^BFSA Awards 9. ^GPI Palmares 2014 10. ^Interview in Europa SF 11. ^2013 Shirley Jackson Nominees and Winners 12. ^Ansible 332 13. ^http://www.sfcenter.ku.edu/news.htm 14. ^[https://thenovellaaward.com/?s=2015+winner&submit=Search/ Novella Award 2015] 15. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bsfa.co.uk/awards/ |title=BSFA Awards |publisher=British Science Fiction Association |accessdate=3 April 2018}} 16. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.worldswithoutend.com/novel.asp?id=23605 |title=The Rift |publisher=Worlds Without End |accessdate=10 April 2018}} 17. ^See http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x123slk_nina-allan-story-cycle-vost_news 18. ^{{cite book|last1=Ashley|first1=edited by Allen|title=Subtle Edens : an anthology of slipstream fiction|date=2008|publisher=Elastic Press|location=Norwich, UK|isbn=9780955318191}} 19. ^Interzone 222 page 54 (June 2009) 20. ^Interzone 237 page 45 (Nov/Dec 2011) 21. ^Review in Strange Horizons {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108095540/http://www.strangehorizons.com/reviews/2011/10/the_silver_wind.shtml |date=2014-11-08 }} 28 October 2011. 22. ^Interzone 254 page 67 (Sep/Oct 2104) 23. ^Review in Strange Horizons 6 August 2014. 4 : British science fiction writers|Living people|1966 births|People from Whitechapel |
