Reception
John Clute in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction described Cloud Chamber as "attractively combin[ing] [c]osmology, [a]ntimatter invaders of our Universe, [s]ex and effortless rebirth of all sentient beings." Paul Di Filippo wrote about Myers in his "Curiosities" column in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. He described Myers as "a promising writer cut off too soon", collectively concluding that Myers' stories are "all marvellous" while Cloud Chamber received comparison with A. E. van Vogt, Charles L.
