Falls the Shadow (Warmer collection)
by Skip Horack
My review:
This was a selection I made because 1) I sometimes enjoy short stories and 2) it was about climate change and 3) the cover art is exquisite!
So this review will be short. I just couldn't get involved in his story. Not because the subject is not vitally important. And not because the writing is not good.
To be honest I had no idea what was going on most of the time. This does not often happen to me with short stories but this one was baffling. The main character is retired military who at one point shot a commercial. Now, he is at some sort of climate workshop, if you can call it that, but the point seems to be that there is alot of "wag the dog" going on. Not that Climate change is not real. That isn't it. But it was all about false advertising and just...not what I expected.
Understand: It was very confusing to me. There was barely any actual dialog and when there was, I could not follow that either.
I think I just chose wrong.
I was let down because I expected something so utterly different than what I got. I understand this is part of a series and I usually do not do series either.
I love the title, subject matter and even Joe was an interesting man. But I wish it had been a tad easier to follow. Very complex for such a short story.… (altro)
