Review: If you know what you're getting, it's a good story!

The first thing to know is what you're getting.  It's a short story, not a long novel.  It reads like a pilot episode for television series.  I hope that the author makes it a serial.  I could read a serial with more-or-less self-contained chapters.  I don't normally read fiction (which is funny, because I write fiction all the time as "warm up writing"), but I know that I should.Evil Under Our Feet was recommended to me by a friend.  Because I don't normally read fiction (I read a LOT of non-fiction), starting with something short was a good idea.  McClellan does a good job wrapping up this particular story.  It leaves it dangling open just enough to make me wonder what happens next (which is what makes me think that this might be the start of a serial).Personally I like the short story format.  I also accepted the challenge to read a much longer book, but I really do prefer shorter reads like this one!  My favorite Ray Bradbury story was a short one, Sound of Thunder.  I like this format.  One of the things I love about this digital age is that publishers and authors can publish short stories like this and sell them to us inexpensively (just like bands can sell us singles in this MP3 age).If the author comes out with more stories in what I hope will be a serial, I'll probably get those, too.
