The singularity of Trevelnya di Oliver Frank's
Science fiction short story with immediate and powerful world and character building.
There were four short stories. I couldn't read them. I did not realize they were four short religious stories. Religious stories do not pull me nor do i want to read them.
I grew up in a time when it was popular to sit in front of the television and watch Rod Serling's 'The Twilight Zone'. So, I smiled when I was approached to read this darkly comic collection of 4 short stories because the author sent them to me knowing that I enjoy reading a mix of paranormal, fantasy, and science fiction.
Yes, often everything is not always as it seems, especially when reading those authors who write the mix listed above.
The Unbelievable Death of Joseph Goldberg I felt was about a life that had come full circle. With his flight at the end, gone was his feeling of uselessness.
In the other 3 reads, we have the quintessential villainous roles. We read about voice and message echoing and we see persons consumed with pushing boundaries. All reads involve a moral and philosophical choice with an unexpected twist.
Yes! I absolutely enjoyed this fast-paced well-written collection of stories.
I received this collection from the author for an honest review.… (altro)
