Just a short post after a long silence.
Here’s a review of a book I recently finished reading:
Tales of Woe and Wonder by Jeff Chapman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Tales of Woe and Wonder” is an excellent title for this collection of short stories. I didn’t quite know what to expect when I dove in, but I’m glad I did. There’s darkness here — as there was in the old fairy tales — but also much wonder.
Sometimes I stopped to re-read a sentence or a phrase, enjoying the way the words sounded, how they fit one another. Enjoying the actual writing in a novel is a rare thing for me these days, so when I encounter it, I share it with the world.
I highly recommend this book.
