This is another excellent offering from Dark Fuse.  I am pleased that I was given a membership to this site.  So far I have enjoyed every thing I've read.  This novella, Red Cells by Jeffery Thomas arrived earlier this week.The protagonist in the book is a likable guy.  Private detective with a few problems.  He ends up in a prison built in an unexplored alternative dimension.  We would not have much of a story is something untoward doesn't happen, would we.  Stake is left to solve the problem and save the prison inmates and staff.  He must win not only the trust of his fellow prisoners, but also the guards and administration.The character development in this book was good.  Interesting how the guards were involved in the crime, yet some were innocent and wanted to help Stake.  The gangs in this prison reminded me of current prison life or at least what I have read and watched about prison life.I read that Stake is in several of Jeffrey Thomas' books.  I would be interested in reading another on of his books.  I think Jeffrey is a fine author and I was pleased to read his workI would consider a science fiction/horror genre. I gave Red Cells 4 stars.  I would recommend this book to science fiction readers.
