United StatesWOW
This is the first thing I have read by Bowyer, and as of right now, I have to read all of his stuff. This short story/novella was amazing. This 18-page story packed the punch of a full-length novel. This tight and perfectly paced story is definitely not to be missed. Check it out, you will not be disappointed. Do it! 5 severed fingers out of 5
United StatesA bloody good read.
Myla has had a rotten year. Her daughter passed away and her husband left her⌠for her sister, Marlow. When a co-worker set her up with a bachelor named Archibald, her life gets a lot more⌠noisy and dramatic. Can Myla make the noise stop before itâs too late? My first by Bowyer but certainly not my last. SCARLETT is such an inventive premise and I am obsessed with Bowyerâs writing now. A HIGHLY RECOMMEND 5/5.
GreeceA satisfying quick read.
Brian Bowyer's writing style is addictive: simple, intelligent, honest, seemingly effortless, and quirky. His distinctive way with words shows up equally in short and long form. His 'Scarlett' is short, dark, densely packed, original, and wild: a haunted painting made by a serial killer manipulates its viewers so that the ghost inhabiting it gets the chance to stop her killer; one of the viewers responds, and ... we're set! This is a great story with memorable characters. A satisfying quick read.
