Long Walks, Last Flights & Other Strange Journeys by Ken Scholes

4.0

I've enjoyed Ken Scholes's novels in the past, and his short stories hit more often than they missed. And when I say hit I mean HIT -- his writing is tight, enormously inventive, often strange, and leaves a lasting impact. My personal favorite in this collection was "Of Metal Men and Scarlet Thread and Dancing With the Sunrise" about a charismatic, remorseful automaton named Isaac who accidentally causes genocide. And "Last Flight of the Goddess", a tribute to the author's wife and Gary Gygax, was lovely.
