Dusk was a pleasure to read. First of all I want to say that I appreciate that so many of these stories have an underlying message of anti-bigotry. It's obvious that Eddie Generous does not take kindly to the idea of hating someone because of their color, sexual preference, weight, religion, and in " Red Hats" I could see what side of the political fence Mr. Generous stands on. I'm right there with you buddy!
The deeper I got into this book the better it got. I found the writing to be impeccable and descriptive, the characters fully developed and just the right amount of "but I want more...." at many endings. As I read Dance or Die I kept thinking of Stephen King's The Long Walk. In "story notes" I see that King was a great inspiration to Mr. Generous. It shows, in a good way. I think that Stephen King fans would enjoy these stories. Proper Farmer made me think of "Christine" and makes so called gas-guzzlers seem like dream machines.
I actually avoid comparing writers to each other because I think each writer is unique, but in this case I think it's fair. These stories bring Stephen King to mind and Eddie Generous mentions Stephen King as a great influence. Yes, Stephen King is brilliant but these are stories written by Eddie Generous, not Stephen King, and they stand on their own merit. I see real talent in this writing and look forward to more .from Eddie Generous. Thank you netgalley for allowing me to read and review Dusk.
