Review: SLEEP will keep you awake. Rose is a short story master.

Michael K. Rose's "SLEEP" is wonderfully dreadful, and that's a good thing. This is a short story, so I hesitate to give away any of the plot for fear of spoiling it. But readers of Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart will appreciate the way Rose has taken the theme of guilt and its consequences and flawlessly transplanted it to an interstellar setting. Rose delivers delicious goose bumps with SLEEP and once again proves that he is a modern master of the American short story.
