. . . but that's obviously deliberate. I've heard others refer to this author as 'bizarro,' which is a style I've heard of but am not overly familiar with -- if this tale is an example of the genre, I like it.The story is strange and bitter, with a dystopian bite to it. It's understated as he avoided the soap box, just spilled it out on the table letting YOU decide whether to pick it up or not.It is short at 5K words -- the story's universe backdrop could definitely provide enough meat to sustain a novel -- but I found it satisfactory. Well worth reading, a lot of fun, and Jeremy Shipp is an author I'll read more from.
