"Crash" is a short stand-alone story by Sean Platt and David W. Wright. This Kindle e-book was approximately 173 printed pages and sold for $0.99 at the time of writing this review.Please Note: I was provided with a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review once it was published.General theme <spoilers>Tom Witt has recently lost his daughter in a car accident. Now he has this strange compulsion to go to crash scenes and photograph the carnage. But once home he spots something in many of the images that he didn't notice at the time the pictures were taken. This then is Tom's story...Some thoughts on "Crash"...1.) well written and edited, featuring easy to read prose.2.) story telling of the professional quality found in all of Platt and Wright's books.3.) a gut wrenching and disturbing tale.4.) cover art... the muted colors, a blurred central image and the tunneling effect caused by the lighter center surrounded by the darker periphery, compliment perfectly the type of tale found within these pages.5.) if I had a concern it would be that after an intriguing beginning, this story seemed to take on a strangely repetitious note. I got to the point of starting to wonder where this tale was going, if anywhere at all... in fact, I was actually expecting a 'to be continued' at the end.Impressions:Different, really different than most Platt and Wright works. And because of this, I was glad that the author(s) decided to put an informative 'Author's Note' at the end... it really helped put the tale in perspective and helped (me) make sense of what they were thinking while writing this.A tale that demonstrates the authors' diverse skills and writing talent when dealing with a subject outside their normal comfort zone.As it is... 4 1/2 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
