I liked this story because as a reader I was pulled right into the narrative, I was taken 'there'. The end got me, and I like that, a real good horror story, well done.

[RECALL] is one of the most haunting stories I've read in a long time. He twists reality, bending it to his own shocking viewpoint, leaving his readers gasping with horror upon revelation.

Dystopia. Stories like this grow out of fear of the futrue of genetic manipulation and the idea that there could be consequences. Melzer tackles the issue in an interesting way, making the narrator interesting even as his job is a terrible task. Well done view of a possible future.

Melzer hits the nail on the head with this one, expertly weaving a terrible yet hauntingly possible world twisted by human idealism and broken by human failure.

Within a few short pages James Melzer manages to create a horribly realistic dystopia and a protaganist who is a perfect reflection of his society. Written with grace, wit and a hell of a lot of menace, this story is sure to entertain.
