This is the second short story I have read from Ian Thomas Healy, who, up until then, I had never heard of. From what I have read from him thus far, this is an author to keep an eye on.This particular short was no less fantastic as the first one I had read ( The Mighty Peculiar Incident at Muddy Creek)In a short amount of space, the characters were extremely well developed, the atmosphere set, and the reader is drawn into the story like a rocket. Hope, desolation, human kindness, action, intrigue...it's all there.I would love to see Mr. Healy pen a full-blown novel based on his ability to deliver quirky, yet amazing, Sci-Fi-with-a-twist stories.His short stories are some of the very few reads from modern authors that garner a 4-star rating.Do yourself a favor and put aside 30 minutes or so and embark on a true reading adventure with Upon a Midnight Clear.
