I will probably buy more by Jon F. Merz after reading Prisoner 392. It was entertaining, the prose was solid, and it held my interest, although I felt it could've been a good beginning to a full-length novel. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 7. It was worth my time and is probably worth yours for $0.99.

I like the prose and where the story was headed but it left me wanting more!

Fantastic Short Story. Prison is hell, and in the torments of an iron box in Belize, Jakob discovers just how deep and bizarre that hell is. Its like "A Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovitch" if Ivan's prison camp was nestled into Dante's underworld.

Highly Recommend checking this one out.
