Josh Lanyon is one damned fine storyteller. His style is such that you can almost hear him telling you the story. But it is skillful writing from an expert, and a pure joy to read. The characters in Everything I Know are deftly drawn, the feelings honest.The villains are baddies, the good guys are good. The plot is uncomplicated, if not entirely believable. The problem is really that this short story is too short; the passage of time is handled in hasty paragraphs and the end comes sneaking up before you know it. Nevertheless, I give it four stars. If you want a fast, fun read without complexities or subplots to untangle, you can hardly do better.
