I'd urge anyone who hasn't bought a copy to do so. It's worth it. I've read many of the stories in there more than once. That says a lot. Tim's such a different writer than I am. There's quite a bit to learn from his approach to the short form. I'd call it straight-up writing or in-your-face perhaps. Although he'll often render tension allegorically via imagery or off-focus action, the entire piece never seems to labor under the fuzzy obliqueness that much of flash fiction often does. It's good stuff, but you all knew that, right?
Not an official review, but when other writers give praise I feel pretty happy but more fortunate than anything. Thanks Brad!
