Monday, June 29, 2015. On "The Beard That Was Evil" by Stephen Collins * *.

Short Story Reader: On "Out of Time" by David W. Landrum (2157 words) ***

http://shortstoryreader.blogspot.com/2015/06/on-out-of-time-by-david-w-landrum-2157.html

Tuesday, June 9, 2015. On "Out of Time" by David W. Landrum (2157 words) * *. Landrum's story revolves around the cult of celebrity and the way that it can be used to reap revenge- or not. Sometimes, we fail to be direct about how we feel because we fear hurting someone else or being hurt ourselves. Sometimes we just don't know how to say something. And sometimes we fail to be direct for simply legal reasons. Read the tale here. David W. Landrum. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader.

Monday, June 29, 2015. On "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" by Mar Preston (4818 words) * *. Here's a story about an exercise in futility. Luke Mouradian is a frustrated thirtysomething with no luck with women who happens upon a great one in China. Preston does a good job of observing cultural differences between the United States and this stranger across the sea. And of course, no love is lost. Read the story here. At Kings River Life.

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. On "Snap" by Shawn Syms (5065 words) * *. Jake is a social worker whose life is slowly coming apart. He councils sex offenders, and the work is more than he can take, especially once a violent and intimidating offender joins the group. Syms's tale is slow to build, but the tension is impressive once one reaches the end. Read the story here. Thanks. Im glad you liked the story! July 30, 2015 at 5:31 PM.

Short Story Reader: On "Vincent" by Glenn Erick Miller (510 words) ***

Thursday, July 9, 2015. On "Vincent" by Glenn Erick Miller (510 words) * *. Sometimes family is hard to acknowledge or to want to. I remember once, after my sister was caught shoplifting, how embarrass I felt to be related to her. I think and hope I would be a bit more supportive now, even if the action were something I found disturbing to me personally. Anyway, Miller walks this difficult line in this story about a brother named Vincent. Read it here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You Must Be This...
