Reviews

Sean Melican, Ideomancer
on "The Heresy Box"

"Darin C. Bradley's "The Heresy Box" tells a story in reverse time: a neat trick, and well-executed . . ."

Colleen Cahill, SFRevu
on "The Heresy Box"

". . . Darin C. Bradley describes a world were religion and health care meet, made all the more fascinating by "The Heresy Box" being told chronologically in reserve."

The Fix
on "The Basement, Borges" in Diet Soap #1

One of the stronger stories in the issue, The Basement, Borges explores enlightenment in a cold and straightforward manner. It doesnt ask questions, it just acts. Introspection is effortlessly handled while its slow descent into abstract horror was rather fitting. I also enjoyed that surveillance remained in the background for this one. In the end, Bradley offers the most satisfying story of the issue.
