Review 218: A Sudden Dominance of Shadows by Wade Alan Steele

Review 218: A Sudden Dominance of Shadows by Wade Alan Steele

By Peter Hassebroek on July 8, 2011

Collected stories, like songs on LPs, often share a theme or tone related to its title. In that sense, the title of Wade Alan Steele’s collection, A Sudden Dominance of Shadows, correlates to the opaqueness of many of its stories that delve into the murky psyches of its protagonists. Otherwise, though, the disparate styles and quality of the stories makes this book more like a collection of B-Sides.

Review 151:Death, Dismemberment and a Little Bit of Sass by Jeremy Boland

Review 151:Death, Dismemberment and a Little Bit of Sass by Jeremy Boland

By Shannon Yarbrough on June 12, 2010

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.
