This free story is a fine example of just how much exposure Amazon gives new and upcoming authors.The story itself is a little silly: the loves and quandaries of a hothouse full of experimental man-eating plants. But the lightheartedness is obviously deliberate, and its the voice and style I fell in love with. In theme and handling, there was a mid-20th-century New Yorker retro feel to it -- in its best passages I was reminded of John Collier's 1951 collection 'Fancies & Goodnights' (which, at the risk of going off topic, is available for the Kindle and is a must buy). It also called to mind Charles Addams kooky world.You can't beat the price and the story is a lot of fun. Go get it.
