Reading Rainblow: Fuel Objects Mob Whitening Moon
Perhaps I'm feeling overly mellow, but I'm going to mention some of the things I've read lately that didn't, you know, suck. By which I mean, these were the things that were really good, and haunting. These ones will stay with you. We'll just let the forgettable stuff be just that.
As always, the reviews will remain spoiler-free, and we'll be like good fiction and fight not to waste words.
Anyway, here we go for the last few months, in rough discovery order...
"Fuel is expensive" by Paul Lucas (Tales of the Talisman Vol 2, No. 3)
Oh yeah baby, this one will stay with you like that endless migraine.
"Objects" by Adam Nikkel (Worlds of Wonder)
Loved the quirky of this one, and its humour. This is a writer I will definitely be stalking.
"Penny Royalty for the Pound Mob" by Gene Stewart (All Possible Worlds, Vol 1 No 1, Spring 2007)
Really enjoyed the voice in this one, that's its strength, like you're sitting there having a full-out raging chat with the narrator over long glasses of tea. I know almost nothing about the technical aspects of creating music, so I can't say if they're accurate here and if music geeks would be blissing. I do know if it's a mystery to you, you'll enjoy the tone anyway.
"Whitening" by Michael A. Pignatella (All Possible Worlds, Vol 1 No 1, Spring 2007)
I enjoyed some turns of phrase here. I am just a hopeless green apple sucker for the grip of an original metaphor.
"Second Moon" by B.A. Barnett (The Lorelei Signal)
Wow. So simple, and yet so haunting. The moon poetry is just...Wow. It felt kind of short though, which is a good thing, really, it means you didn't overstay your welcome. But still, you want to see more. This is one of those ones that feels like it could have sequels or novels.
