My review of Age of Blight: Stories by Christine Ong Muslim was posted today over at Escape Into Life. We've featured some of her stories there before if you want a sample of her writing, though they are not part of this collection. These are disquieting tales about the past and the future and maybe some other reality entirely. When I say 'disquieting', I mean that in a good way. Check it out.

Disquieting, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's probably best to take the stories in small doses. But I think the title does warn people that it isn't going to be a feel good sort of book.
