Another review of “The Awful Truth … “

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  my writ    Posted date:  May 5, 2008  |  No comment


My short story “The Awful Truth About the Circus,” which appeared last year in the anthology Zencore!, has just been reviewed at the site The Future Fire. (Actually, I’m not entirely sure exactly when the review was written and published, as it’s undated and was only just pointed out to me now.)

The reviewer, credited as “The Exploding Boy,” had this to say:

“The Awful Truth About the Circus” and “Red Velvet Dust” are both excellent, well-written stories, nimbly capturing what magical realism is all about, turning the reader’s eye inward to the human condition, describing hope and loss with delicate brush strokes.

Thank you, Exploding Boy, whoever you are!
