Raw brutality renedered in

Posted on Thu, 08 Oct 2015

Raw brutality renedered in unflinching prose, Photon.  A little overwritten in places in my (totally subjective) opinion but I can't fault the conviction.

A very realistic opening

Posted on Wed, 07 Oct 2015

A very realistic opening scene that commited me to the read well done.  A couple of points to consider:

Echoes

Posted on Wed, 30 Sep 2015

This is really good.

Inevitably there is room to look...

I'd take care with the similies; the saline bag, the I...

A bleak and well observed

Posted on Tue, 25 Aug 2015

A bleak and well observed cityscape.  Makes me want to take a shower.
