Richard Farnsworth presents us with a collection of short stories in Outside The Wire. Two of these are just snippets of larger stories, Succumbing To Gravity (everyone who knows me, knows I will force you to read this book), and Gift Of The Bouda. Both of which show how well Farnsworth can write the internal struggle.

I think the back cover of this book describes The Hungry Mouth the best.
Short and long stories about people, animals, cars, crashes, love, disease, death, dinosaurs, black holes, breakups, zombies, gods, children, happiness, and hunger.

FOUR D is a collection of four stories by Gregory Morrison that I would describe as speculative fiction.

Thanks to the Discovery Channel and A&E, there are enough “reality” shows to entertain or educate us on what life might be like for a troubled young African American man who finds himself locked away at too early of an age.

The problem with themed books centered around holidays is that their selling window is very small, and Valentine’s Day is one the smallest. While most people are out shopping for balloons, roses, and candy, the Valentine’s display in the bookstore is usually centered around humor, children’s picture books, or sarcasm.

Kimberly Kinrade and I have something in common. We both write to free ourselves “from the tyranny of my words” as she says in a small entry in the beginning of her anthology, Bits of You & Pieces of Me. I shook my head in agreement when I read that. Her book is a collection of short stories, journal essays, and poems – a well organized file of information from deep within the mind of a writer. While I do enjoy reading such collections from indie authors, it is often hard to make a connection with any one piece since they are just a few pages.

I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing several short story anthologies published through Lulu, and I have to say that Jeremy Boland’s collection is one of the best. Not only are the stories fresh and original, but the physical book itself is an excellent example of a self-published author getting it right. That’s why I’m going to talk about the book quality first.
