  • [RECALL] on April 06, 2010
    star star star star star
    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.
  • Last Man Home on June 22, 2010

    You would think post war stories would not be as exciting, after all, the war is over, where will the excitement come from? But in the hands of John Mierau the best stuff happens after the war is over. Exciting, funny, and an all around great novella, totally worth the purchase price.
  • Music Box on June 22, 2010
    star star star star
    This is an elegant tale, a story not of action, but emotion. A music box become the conduit between worlds for a university student, as he crafts the box, the lines between the living and the dead blur. Simply spellbinding.

    A very nice character study by Melzer of a man who has his own strange hobby. Melzer takes the seemingly mundane and throws in some delicate hints and a horrific twist that will keep the reader interested throughout.

    This could be the best thing Melzer has ever written. Period.
