Jamie Lackey has an incredible knack for character development and world-building - all in just a few well-placed words, phrases, and sentences. I think it takes true talent to create emotional and meaningful stories in the flash-fiction format, and Jamie makes it look effortless.
This is a collection of pop fiction, mostly in the genre of fantasy and science fiction. I especially enjoyed that almost all of the stories are a response to individual challenges put to the author. One person asks her to write a story about a unicorn. Another asks her to create a misogynistic male lead who is likeable. Another says tell me a story in the style of Stephen King. Flash fiction is new to me, and I wondered if it’s a new internet-era thing like flash crowds, pop up restaurants, and...
I read and enjoyed the author’s Metal Box short story collection before, so I downloaded this one off of Netgalley too, despite having mixed thoughts about flash fiction. I mean, in theory I like it, despite my rambling and often quite long reviews, I’m actually a huge fan of succinctness and conciseness. But in practice, haven’t read all that much flash fiction I really liked. This one was really good, though. The author has the imagination, originality, genre flexibility, talent and style to
I received this book through NetGalley.There were too many grammer and spelling errors for me to give it 4 stars. Plus, many stories were filler and did not capture my interest, but overall an easy read to get through.
Originally posted on my blog: Nonstop Reader. Second Revolution is another collection of crowdfunded flash fiction by Jamie Lackey. Released 14th Dec 2020, it's 128 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately; it makes it so easy to find information with the search function. Th...
Unfortunately, there were quite a few spelling and grammar errors which did detract some from the stories. This collection includes many genres so there’s something for everyone in this. Unfortunately, although they are good, they weren’t quite good enough for them to stick in my mind after I was done reading them. But I did ultimately enjoy most of the collection.ARC via Netgalley
This collection of stories veered from a little girl finding out that unicorns can be evil murderers to a young husband learning that his mother-in-law is a goddess. Some were barely holding together as a story, and others just completely unraveled, such as the Guided Meditation, which was maddening to read. All in all, the writing style is generally interesting, and the good stories are really good. I was fortunate to receive a digital copy from the publisher Jamie Lackey through NetGalley.
