“…it’s irrelevant. You don’t fight for something just because it’s personal.”
Gunflower features some of the most breathtakingly, visual prose I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. It is raw, visceral and extremely thought provoking. An experience that can be summed up in one word: ‘breathtaking’.
Each story cuts deep, right where it needs to. Every story made me THINK, and think hard. Some of the standouts for me were: Those Last Days of Summer, Nine Days, Smoko, Gunflower & King (though I loved them all). Each story works on its own, but together? It is a mind-melding experience that creates empathy, challenges your thinking and gives voices to the most unlikely.
I can’t recommend this one enough. Thank you so much to Scribe for the early copy, it was a privilege.
