Just bad. On so many levels. A parable of the inhumanity of humans, yet anthropomorphizes the animals in inconceivable ways, making an incoherent mess. ( )

Planet of the Animals
Review of the Amazon Original Kindle eBook edition (October 2018)

Post-apocalyptic fable where the animal congress rules the planet and the pesky humans are monitored in order to ensure they don't discover fire and wreck the planet all over again. One of the mare horses takes a liking to one of the human females who she admires for her pluckiness. "Planet of the Apes" meets "Quest For Fire".

The Hillside is one of the 7 short stories included in the Warmer Collection, a series of climate-related fiction released October 30, 2018 from Amazon Original Stories. Fear and hope collide in this collection of possible tomorrows. What happens when boiling heat stokes family resentments; when a girl’s personal crisis trumps global catastrophe; or when two climate scientists decide to party like it’s the end of the world? Like the best sci-fi, these cli-fi stories offer up answers that are darkly funny, liberating, and all too conceivable. ( )

Another DNF for this Amazon Originals collection from me. Just......yuck.

The entire Warmer Collection was really just not for me. I don't DNF stories very often, but this was just not working for me.

Not every story is for every reader. I tried multiple times to finish this. Couldn't do it.

Moving on..... ( )
