Postscripts to Darkness 4 Reviews
-
The presentation of the e-version I read is lovely (cover, layout, illustrations) and I'm looking forward to receiving my hard copy of Postscripts to Darkness 4 in the mail.
I was surprised by the breadth of tone and styles in this collection. Personally, I prefer stories intended to disturb rather than to scare, and stories which mix beauty in with their darkness. I particularly enjoyed Cracks by Laura DeHaan and Tapestry by Lydia Peever. Both stories have wonderful concepts and left me very satisfied.
Other notes:
- The theatre maker inside me was pleased by the wonder and showmanship in Opening Night by Albert Choi.
- Although Pushers is not hugely my cup of tea, content-wise, I found Sean Logan's writing style to be unusual, very readable and moreish.
- I like Forgive Me by Jonathan S. Pembroke more every time I read it. A fantastic piece of flash. -
Solid anthology made remarkable by the wrenching of
Laura DeHaan's "Cracks", the dark fantastic of
Kate Heartfield's "Six Aspects of Cath Baduma", and the unremitting chill of
Tony Burgess's "Soft Shell Story".
