Feature: Short Fiction Friday

Feature: Short Fiction Friday

It has been a while since I have started a new feature on the site. Some of the recurrent visitor may know that I run a biweekly (p)review forecast wherein I name a few books that I hope to read in the coming two weeks. I also run a Review Round-Up wherein I highlight a few books that I thoroughly enjoyed the last month. When I was biking home last night I was thinking of what I could still do to add new content to the blog and three letters went through my mind SFF which is normally related to Science Fiction Fantasy but what if those letter could be interpreted differently? So I came up with my own SFF, Short Fiction Friday! 

With the Short Fiction Friday I will review a short story every Friday, they can come from anthologies, magazines or from the internet. A lot of readers aren't that big of a fan of anthologies but I do enjoy reading short stories especially when authors are able to create the same feeling in 20-50 pages as they can with a full length book. 

Keep an eye out for later today as I will start of the SFF feature!

For this feature I also accept recommendations so if you have a short story you enjoyed let me know or if you have written one you can also submit it. Look under the about me page for more details or use the contact for on the right hand side.

Cheers,
Jasper

Short Fiction Friday: Selfies

Selfies by Lavie Tidhar "Selfies", by Lavie Tidhar, is a creepy little horror tale about the fate of a young woman who makes the mistake of a lifetime when she buys a new phone in the local mall. It is only a few weeks back that I read a different but very interesting short story of Lavie Tidhar, Dragonkin . I found this story directly to my liking, the synopsis and build up of the story was unique and got me excited by it's less is more writing style. In the end this story for me had so much going on that I hope to see Lavie Tidhar exploring it even further. That aside, now its time for Selfies . I think I can now safely say that Lavie Tidhar is an author to watch out for, his stories will get you thinking and will scare you twice over.  I have been thinking a lot of the current situation with always being connected on social media and the likes. It's unavoidable. One thing that is connected with all of this is of course your smartphone, yes no longer a cell

Author interview with John Gwynne

Author interview with John Gwynne Author Bio: I was born in Singapore while my dad was stationed there in the RAF. Up until he retired that meant a lot of traveling around, generally a move every three years or so. I live with my wife and four wonderful (and demanding) children in East Sussex. Also three dogs, two of which will chew anything that stands still. I have had many strange and wonderful jobs, including packing soap in a soap factory, waitering in a french restaurant in Canada, playing double bass in a rock n roll band, and lecturing at Brighton University. I stepped out of university work due to my daughter’s disability, so now I split my time caring for her and working from home - I work with my wife rejuvenating vintage furniture, which means fixing, lifting, carrying, painting and generally doing what my wife tells me to do... And somehow during this time I started writing. I’ve always told my children stories at bed-time, and they pestered long and hard for me to
