Green Thumb: a novella
''Tom Cardamone has established himself as a unique voice in gay speculative fiction. Picking up one of his stories begins with a sense of wonder about what you will encounter because he never does the same thing twice, nor does he replicate in any way what you find from other authors. I had that sense of anticipation when I receivedGreen Thumbfor review. Cardamone enchanted me with this dystopian post-nuclear war tale and its one-of-a-kind characters....This work of speculative fiction proves how powerfully this genre can comment on our society. It pulls you into a dream world and then offers lessons about love, trust, and betrayal.'' --Damian Serbu for Lambda Literary Foundation''...this imaginative postapocalyptic novella with New Weird sensibilities contains a tense undercurrent that continually evokes a sense of unease, and gradually unfolds to an unexpected, thoroughly unsettling ending.'' --Publishers Weekly
