CivilWarLand in Bad Decline by George Saunders
3.0
On the whole, it was a little uneven. Some stories were great, others not so much. "Bounty," for its part, didn't feel fully defined. The narrative just kind of barrelled along without adding much besides plot and occasionally strained dialogue.
Exponential Apocalypse by Eirik Gumeny
5.0
I may be biased, as I wrote the damn thing, but Exponential Apocalypse is the greatest story ever written.
DangerRAMA by Danger Slater
5.0
The most dangerous book that Danger ever danger-ed to danger.
I had more than that but I've got some shit going on and I couldn't find my notes. Yes, notes. The existential ponderings and searches for self in DangerRAMA were so God damned deep that I was writing shit down like this was some kind of college literature assignment. Also, a dude fucks his finger-clone in space and who doesn't love that? No one, that's who.
Anyway, as a fan and former editor of Danger's I feel confident saying he's stepped up his game with the three novellas contained herein. And I've only said that, like, twice before, for his short stories "A Robot's Sonnet" and "Red Hot Panda Love." This time, though... This time I felt things. Pants things. Whether that was because "Me & Me & Me & Me & Me" is so well-crafted and perfectly circuitous or because of the aforementioned man-on-finger action we may never know.
