This book of four short stories by Craig Lea Gordon was quite a smorgasbord of way-out there science fiction and horror readings. What they did all have in common, besides having some surprising endings, is that the descriptive tone and phrases were simply superb, with some I hadn’t read before. Being as they were shorts, there really was no time for character development or vividly detailed description, but they were still fun to enjoy. This is a somewhat late voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout.
A captivating storyline. Good chemistry with the characters made an attention grabber never a dull moment will have you at the edge of you seat with characters that kept your interest really well eager to read more
This is a collection of 4 science fiction/horror short stories. While the stories are indeed short being about 10 pages each, they have incredible world building, fleshed out characters and they all blew my mind. The author does an amazing job of creating a complete story in short order. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It blew my mind and if you like weird science with a touch of horror you will love this book.

I dont normally care for short stories very often. These four were perfect for those who do. They are well written.

This is a collection of short stories. Normally, I write about the book and then write a couple paragraphs about what I liked and didn’t like about the book. I’ll be doing this one differently. I’ll be giving my opinions on each story. After I’m done with each story, I’ll give my opinion of the book overall.
The first story was Bad Hands. I’m not really sure I can give a full opinion on this short story. It was a very interesting read and very detailed, but it was too short and lacking in context in some areas. I think quite a few things needed to be explained better in this story.
The second story was called The Machine. I don’t know how I really feel about this one. It was a bit too sadistic for my taste. Not to mention it made too many jumps throughout the story. There are major holes in this story that need to be filled for the story to flow better.
The third story was called The Theatre Of Death. I was really feeling this story. It had a lot of potential and intrigue. But it wound up leaving me with more questions than anything. This felt more like a teaser of a novel than a short story.
The fourth story was called Transmit. This was the best of the four. I enjoyed it fully. But like the rest, it is lacking in detail and could have been drawn out a bit more. That was the biggest disappointment for me.
Overall, these were all great. I don’t really see them as short stories though. I see them more as an idea piece for a novel or novella. They all need a lot more writing. They are all majorly lacking important parts to the story. And some are without an ending at all. I don’t hate these stories. I just think they need a bit more work.

These are four excellent short stories that bend your mind in a crazy way. In a good way as far as I’m concerned. I love short and weird stories and I really enjoyed these. Each story was a new blast of strangeness. Hope there are more out there by this author.

These short stories draws you in and doesn’t let you go.
Lea Gordon always lets loose tons of questions with his short stories, nights without sleep, pondering and analyzing each aspect on what I’ve read.. yes, utterly thought provoking and immersive! Craig’s books always have and caused that effect on me! I’m totally snagged by this series!
The result is the best stories in this genre that I’ve yet come across! Congratulations Craig Lea Gordon, you have put me in a trance and hi-jacked my mind, will and emotions!
First let me say that I do not normally read science fiction. So please keep that in mind when reading this review. Thought I try something new. I did have some trouble with some acronyms.
This is a book that contains four short stories. The blurb does a great job of summarizing each story. They are definitely science fiction. Below is what I think they are.
Bad Hands is like pulling the wool over your eyes when I go it figured out.
The Machine is definitely a mad scientist story.
Theatre Of Death is life experience used to move on. I personally want to strangle the end. GRRR.
Transmit is survival after the end?
Nice thing is that the book can be read story by story or all in a few hours.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
