Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Deeply thought provoking, beautiful stories. This collection provides a varied view of the art of the storyteller. Unique voices and compelling plots make this a must read. If you enjoy science fiction and fantasy, this just may wind up on a list of favorite reads. It reminded me of the work of Connie Willis, which is high praise indeed. ( )It may be review copy, but EDGE logos is EVERYWHERE. Pdf is all pictures so I cannot even read on any ereader device. I cannot read any book on monitor. As a result, one star. I need file in form I can actually read! Considering apparently paranoia, I'm pretty sure that bought for version isn't much better. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. *Elements* is billed as a collection of "speculative fiction." I'm not entirely sure what makes it such as opposed to a sci-fi-fantasy collection, which is what I'd call it, but no matter. This is a collection of fairly short — some quite short — stories in a variety of moods that range from the whimsical to the bleak. As with any collection, there are bound to be some items that appeal to a reader more than others. I tend to favor the whimsical myself, and so the "Couch Teleporation Universe" mini-series stands out as the best of the lot for me. Most of the stories I enjoyed, however, as an assortment of bite-sized pieces of ... well, of speculation, if you like. Good stuff. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I generally don't enjoy short story books so this was a pleasant surprise. I have already recommended it to a friend and look forward to Church's future works.Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I've always enjoyed being a member of a book discussion group just because of this kind of book. That is a book that I enjoyed and discovering and author I didn't know that I wouldn't have been likely to have found on my own. This is a collection of some twenty stories. Most of them stand-alone stories, although three of them are linked in a common world. Like most short story collections that I've read, I've enjoyed some of them, others I haven't - but that's how it is. There is a story of a girl who is being bullied at school who gets some unexpected help, and a story of a medical aid worker in a terrible epidemic of blindness, and then a few creepy stories of ghosts. A bit of something for most everyone. if you enjoy discovering new authors, then I would recommend this collection of stories. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Award winning author Suzanne Church's cast of distinct characters asks "What if?" in this collection of science fiction, fantasy, and horror short fiction. Can humanity survive an ice age? Will the storm man steal Wanda's baby? When will Bob and Sebbee escape the relentless march of the Lost Circle? What is the cause of the taint in Faya's courted ice? If you can't escape hell, can you at least afford a trip on a teleporting couch? Church infuses emotion into every tale. Whether quirky or horrific, the prose deftly snatches the reader onto a whirlwind expedition of laughter and sorrow. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
