The Ghost of Mahogany Lane
on Aug. 02, 2012
Very cute story. Nice twist. The writing was a little iffy but it reads smoothly and held my attention the whole time. I enjoyed this story and am glad I took the time to read it.

From Man to Man
on Nov. 09, 2012
I was asked to read Man to Man in exchange for a review of one of my own short stories. When you offer to do this, you end up reading things that are not your typical read. I will say that D.E.M. Emrys is an excellent writer. He set up the story with rich characters that pulled you into the tale. There was a sense of mystery that made you want to read more. He painted a world that was both satisfying and colorful. I was let down by the ending. I felt like I should have learned more about the character and his mysterious past. Either way, it was a nice read and not at all a waste of time.
