Review: Gotta Call It Art
Rating: 5 out of 5

In the tales in Piquant, Richard Godwin writes kind of like Salvador Dali painted. We are talking surrealistic imagery that twists and turns about on itself, sometimes appearing to be one thing, sometimes another. Beauty becomes grotesquery, and the reverse.  You are never completely comfortable in these tales. You never quite know what will happen when you turn the page. I would definitely say these stories are not for everyone. They are, in turns, outrageous, obscene, gory, and beautiful. But if you can handle that kind of mix, I think you'll find that these stories are art in a very real sense.
