Reader Beware: Vanity Press Harlequin Horizons Is Now DellArte

Mrs Giggles: Harlequin Horizons’s unintentional comedy

“Commedia dell’arte was concerned mostly with disgraceful love intrigues, clever tricks to get money or outwit some simpleton.”

My own search found this…

A rigid convention of the commedia dell’arte is the periodic intrusion of Harlequin, who interrupts the play with low buffoonery.

I have to agree with SFWA… SFWA on Harlequin Horizons

SFWA does not believe that changing the name of the imprint, or in some other way attempting to disguise the relationship to Harlequin, changes the intention
