Review: Riveting novella.

The Black has written a gripping short story about Melvin Tolliver, an atypical antihero.  It's challenging to write about an antihero especially one that is equal parts scary and lovable. Perhaps it's his quiet authenticity that makes Melvin so irresistable. Whatever it is if you read it you may find yourself falling for him as quickly as I did. The time periods this chronicle takes place in are also rich and colorful. I would definitely be an advocate for expanding this gem of a story. Til then, Melvin will live on in my imagination, undoubtedly someplace warm.
