This is an exciting
installment of Short Story Sunday. Well, maybe not for you, but it is for me.
This marks the first collection that I’ve reviewed in its entirety (except for
all of the non-fiction articles). I hope to review many more science fiction and
fantasy stories and I hope you stick around and get inspired to read a few of
your own.
For a long time I
completely ignored short fiction, but in recent years it’s become an important
part of my life. Due to an increasingly busier schedule and new responsibilities,
I’ve got less time to read novels. I was sad about that at first (and I still
kind of am) but I decided to view this as an opportunity to explore another
part of literature I didn’t pay much attention to before. Like everything else,
not all of the short stories I read are good. Some, even with their short
length, aren’t even worth my time. Still, I’ve read plenty of good-to-great
stories to remind me of how satisfying short fiction can be. Below are just a
couple of good examples.
