COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good writing about unpalatable figures submitted by terpsichore17 on July 26, 2018, 10:08am The prose is quite good, reminding me of Bradbury's style of mixing the familiar and tangible with imagined futures, fantastic pasts, and realities spiraling away from this world.

The storylines are effective, illuminating just enough to leave terrible suggestive shadows, and cutting away so that disaster strikes off-screen (but front and center in the reader's mind).

The characters are horrifying, Palahniuk-y figures who are surprisingly realistic and utterly severed from redemption.
