A lovely collection of haunting short stories! I really enjoyed reading this book and seeing the narratives from a visceral point of view.Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I've always had a soft spot for collections of short stories, and this book did not disappoint. Each story varies in length, but all are well-written. The themes tend toward darker topics; however, that did not detract from the enjoyment. I would definitely recommend this book, and I look forward to future works by the author. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. It takes a rare talent to convey a theme or story in a handful of pages or less - Mark Newman manages this with aplomb in this collection and I'll certainly be investigating his other works. Not exactly the cheeriest of tales but will be re-read to pick up the nuances that I probably missed in my first reading. Recommended. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Thanks to Library Thing for a review copy. This is a 3.5 or 3.75 on the enjoyment, and a 4 on the quality. The lower rating for enjoyment is that they just aren't happy or fun. At all. But they are quite well crafted. I was fairly well astonished that a story of less than a page could pack such a punch, I really had no idea. There are plenty of stories of typical lengths, with the short shorts interspersed. It was of a good length overall to be satisfying. Some collections of short stories can be over too quickly. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I loved this collection of stories. Each one made me grapple with reality and forced me to think hard about what each story was actually about: the subtle meaning rarely spoken aloud. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for short, easy to read stories that urge you to think about the deeper meanings in people's thoughts, words, and actions. I give this collection of short stories 5 out of 5 stars.
This is an emotional book of short stories that deal with loss. Loss of innocence and life, each story explores these in various different ways. This was a quick read that you can to relate too, especially if you have experience with loss.
A housing estate is in shock following a child's disappearance. A girl and her invisible friend go their separate ways. A father and a son bond over Post-It notes. A single father and his daughter have different approaches to the disappearance of their dog. A father finds his way to coax his agoraphobic son back out into the world. My Fence is Electric and Other Stories is a collection of award-winning short stories looking at those moments in life that fizz with the electric intensity of change.
