Excellent writing as usual, but the stories were all so DEPRESSING and drawn out and sad. Most of the stories were about grieving and death and sadness. It was just too much for one issue of Glimmer Train.
I love Glimmer Train but this issue was just okay-ish. I thought that most of the stories tried too hard to be "literary" rather than actually tell much of a story. (Perhaps my own tastes have diminished because these days a story has to be entertaining to keep my interest.) I liked Matthew Salesses' "The Grief Ministry" and could relate to certain parts of it very well. Jennifer Anne Moses' "Duty Free" was unique and interesting. One of the stories was quite poetic but I have already forgotten
2.5 starsI'm having a hard time rating this, because I really think the authors are probably excellent writers... but short stories just aren't my thing, so I can't say I really enjoyed reading them. So I'm going middle-of-the-road, 2.5 stars. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.
Usually I'm quite a fan of Glimmer Train, but I bailed out of about half the stories in this issue. :(
Excellent as always. The first story by Ingrid Hill, "Pavilion," may be one of my favorite short stories recently. I also really enjoyed "Tamer of Horses" by Pamela Sutton.
