Winning a free copy of Brian Hodge and Gerard Hoarder’s Dark City: A Novella Collection provided an interesting read with three stories in this book. The first “In the Negative Spaces” provides an intense read of a quest to free oneself from the past, and makes the reader want to know what happens next with the character. The second story, “Burning Bright in the Invisible Night” transports the reader into what seems like the middle of a storyline, yet it makes sense. However it leaves you wanting more as it is a fight between routine, and facing challenges. The final story, “The Fear Puppet” is an interesting read, that battles the issue of fearing the unknown vs. seeking something that is “suppose to be” ( )
