Review: Gritty and labyrinthine
Rating: 4 out of 5

Another short and sweet moment spent with Col Bury's characters. THE COPS OF MANCHESTER contains very dramatic stories, yet other stories that seem self-conscious of that drama and play with that notion a little bit. My favorite was EYES WIDE SHUT, which is almost metafictional when put in perspective with the other shorts. Manchester sure is a gritty and labyrinthine when seen through the eyes of one of its most enthusiastic poets. A short, dynamic blast of fiction.
