Author:

Richardson has a novel, Magdeburg, available only in paper versions, published by Lagan Press, an Irish publisher.

Description:

A collection of previously released short stories.

Appraisal:

Five short stories. All are dark, but in different ways. Chilled, from which the collection takes its name, is a little out there – something you hope isn’t real – not unlike the horror genre. Others, [BEAT] (which considers choices not made) and Liberation, consider the dark side of the world and life that are all too real. A quick read with well done stories that were a nice change of pace from my recent reading fare.

FYI:

Uses UK spelling conventions. Adult language and situations.

Format/Typo Issues:

No significant issues.

Rating: **** Four stars
