“The closer you looked at something, the harder it was to see simple clear lines…”
Ananda Lima’s Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil was a powerful thought provoking debut from a bold new writer and quite possibly one of the greatest executions of short fiction I have ever seen.
In Craft a writer has a one night stand with the devil and the following stories are the various ways he reappears throughout her life. Through hauntings, longings, viewings of Gremlins 2, and a life remembered through Triptychs and Hasselblad’s Ananda’s Craft asks you to look at all the ways we invite the Devil in and how hard it is to let our grip on him go.
Absolutely beautiful. A piece I look forward to revisiting time and time again.
