Makes the "really real world" seem not so bad.

I'm a fan of RCC and this is my first time reading his short stories. I thought I'd just read one story before going to bed but there I was at the end of the last story, wanting more. It was interesting to see how RCC can drop the reader in the middle of a situation and do world building, character development, and make the point the short story was to make in a few pages. I liked how it the different the environments were. Disasters about to happen, are currently happening, or that happened in the way flung past. I especially liked how a society developed long after the apocalypse. All the stories showed how imperfect mortals can be. After reading the stories I realized my "really real world" ain't all that bad after all. I shall reread the stories again slower. I just gobbled them down the other night.

Good ideas for short stories but needs edit

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019

Very gruesome and dark, but what I found mostly annoying is the missing commas and overall it was missing a good hard pass by a professional editor.

Action was there, together with despair and the murdering intent but it was skipping from point to point in the story.

I understand these are short stories, but extra word here or there would make them flow better and not make you feel like they are chocking you with the speed you are falling down the well with them.

I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews, but this could really be a great short TV series, even something like the Twilight Zone after some editing.

I think this's great writing.

Anytime an author takes the route of brevity, I'm in.
In these cases, the author establishes a world, populates it, develops motive and events, and finalizes the story satisfactorily.

Each story in ALL is well-wrote, clean, clear, with folks I can visualize and hear.

I enjoyed ALL immensely!

Loved it!

Big fan of RCC and this book was no different! I loved it so much I'm going to read it again. Not sure how his mind comes up with twisty scenarios that still have humor, but he does it in a way that makes me greedy for more.

A book of small stories, makes a list of large wishes.

The face of Victory. A compelling wish for this story to be a long series, so those of us that want to, can read a truly compelling story.
All stories in this book were good. But the "Face Of Victory" is so very interesting that I want to read the whole gambit of actions and outcomes.
A great Author. A great story teller.

Gripping stories and deep characters. A worthy read! I highly recommend this for any reader! Some seem disturbingly pertinent to our nation today.

The World Falls Apart x 5

Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2018

This is the first collection of short stories I’ve read from Robert Chazz Chute. Each story carries the classic elements that I have come to expect from the author, namely, well-wrought characters and plausible worlds, and in the case of these stories, worlds that one could well imagine coming true if things go wrong in just the right way. Different than novels which can take the time and pages to build worlds, in these short stories the reader is dropped into a world “already in progress.”

The main character in Cold Calculations is Julie, who is living in a special shelter with a few others in the Last Days. Good at math but not necessarily social interaction, Julie is faced with a dilemma.

Lights Out takes place in a world most readers from the West would recognize, except for a bit of a tilt toward authoritarian government. A young man who has as his main aim, to keep to himself, serves as our window into a world that is stumbling toward a tipping point.

The titular character in Simon Says is a boy in a world that has clearly passed the tipping point. We are in a post-apocalyptic post-technological world that views the previous world as sinful. This new world has sought to create order by imposing a number of rules on its members and backing them up with religious signifiers and rigorous discipline. Simon goes through a rite of passage that reveals more to him than he — or anyone else — ever expected.

The Face of Victory initially comes across as something out of the 1960s civil rights protests, right down to it taking place in San Francisco. However, this is a different world with different sorts of issues and more advanced forms of weaponry to keep the masses in control. Even so, the ever-present human issues of betrayal of trust and hope in the midst of despair are here, too.

The final story in this anthology could easily be taking place right now if the conditions in space were to go exactly wrong. The Surprise Party, for all the inevitability of its conclusion, does raise an interesting question about life and death, and about the value of information. What do you believe? Is ignorance bliss?

Go ahead and get this book. The stories don’t take very long, and each story presents a distinctive apocalypse. You can use these stories as an escape if you wish, and they will work that way since they do not take place in the world we inhabit, but they also provide food for thought; they push us to think about where our world is headed and our own parts in that world. And, you know what? It’s not all doom and gloom. I finished this collection feeling rather hopeful at points. Probably the final thing to say is that Chute is a masterful writer and if you simply enjoy well-written stories, you will enjoy All Empires Fall.

Note: I served as a “beta reader” for this collection of stories. I received no remuneration for this service other than the delight in having something good to read.
