The Complete Review: “Out of This World is a useful reference work for any reader, and surely essential for anyone interested in speculative fiction originally written in other languages. It also serves as a very good introduction to the field — and readers eager to expand their reading of speculative fiction will find this to be a great guide and resource for finding new reading.”

World Literature Today: “This essential and apprehensible guide—written primarily for readers, not scholars or critics—belongs in every library: large or small, public or university.“

Book Forager: “…this is a really excellent introduction to translated speculative fiction that deserves to have its flag enthusiastically waved.”

UAB: “As for Cordasco’s book, I hope it finds the readers it aims at, and I wish I could meet them, for they must be a fearless bunch.”
