The stories are amazingly well put together, the production value is great, very haunting. They are also very short, which I enjoy, but don’t expect them to last, they are almost flash fiction short.

I cannot say I am impressed. The production value is mediocre, at best, and the writing has the subtlety of a freight train–which may be a good thing for other people. The simple plot of “Town Without a Soul” is predictable, and the satire is just far too obvious, making it not interesting. I do not want to make this a slapfest, but I would like to hear improvement. The descriptions are tiring because there is too much detail, too much exposition, especially with regard to facial expressions, and mundane movement–which, admittedly, is a difficult skill to master. The desire to write well is present in the effort of the production and the writing, but the quality needs improvement, and I would be more than willing to listen if that happens.

Production quality is pretty high, but I found the ‘shocking’ conclusion of “Town Without a Soul” to be…kind of dull, actually. The first story was almost too short to be a story; it kind of makes me wonder why the author included it.
Production quality–good. Stories–don’t bother.
