I’ve been perusing random kindle freebies, checking out the field of dark speculative self-published fiction and this collection grabbed my attention. In fact, this collection is exactly along the lines of the sort of thing that makes my quest worthwhile.
Strange, dark, twisted tales of science fiction and/or more conventionally horrific persuasion, these ten nightmarish cuts do their best to take one closer to the eponymous line that the author draws. The book features a variety of themes (all dark), some very nice art and some complete unnecessary poems, but wherein the author may not be much of a poet, he’s actually quite a good writer. I’ve been reading a good amount of self-published genre fiction lately and this certainly stands out in quality. Sure, the narrative tends to be slightly on the dense side and might do nicely with more paragraphs and dialogue, but aside from that it’s engaging, interesting, and most of all, original. There are some really fun, interesting stories here. The editing is done well. The cover's great. A totally professional looking book through and through. And it disturbs as advertised. All in all, a nice find. I wouldn’t be opposed to checking out more of the author’s work based on this reading experience. Recommended.
