Story Collection/Speculative Fiction
Description:
“A Passport to a Nation of
Talking Slugs is a collection of weird, speculative fiction containing four
stories of people exploring strange places and situations, from a
newly-discovered civilization of six-foot-tall talking slugs to being haunted
by a man in a dark chocolate suit. Whether waking up in a prison camp or
navigating a city full of copies of themselves, the characters in these stories
are bent on understanding their world, even if that understanding also means
the end of the world they thought they knew.”

Appraisal:
I’d read another short collection of four stories by Andrew Kozma
early this year, so decided to give this one a spin as well. The results are
much the same. I called it a change of pace last time and, unless you read a
steady diet of strange, weird, unusual and whatever words your thesaurus has
for offbeat and different speculative fiction, it will be a change of pace for
you too. This guy has an imagination and can string words together fairly well
too.
