The Quiet Man by Richard Randall

THE QUIET MANHe takes his time walking to his favorite coffee shop. It had been one of those days and he just needed a minute to catch his breath. Things will be fine, he told himself. Somehow through it all, he knew things would be fine. Not today. Someday though. Just not today. He gathers his wits and opens the door to the little place. It’s clean and comfortable and he scans the space looking for atable that’s out of the way and that will let him work and be invisible. He’s begun to treasure this little bit of time where he can fade into background. The young guy behind the counter makes his latte and calls out his name. And no eye contact is made from either one… which is fine. Looking someone in the eye might be too telling. He doesn’t realize that the kids that run the shop have nicknamed him “the quiet guy”. He’s there most days and says very little and after a while disappears. Almost like a ghost, you see out of the corner of your eye and then he’s gone...So begins the new collection of short stories from Richard Randall, the author of “one hundred little men”. “The Quiet Man” is a group of tales with humor, horror and having the courage to face the future.

The following review of Genocide by Aaron Lebold is by Jennifer Anne Gordon, author of Beautiful, Frightening, And Silent.

"I read this book in a little over one sitting. It starts quickly, bringing you on a journey you both don't want to be on, but feel you cannot stray from.

It's a story of a boy, who is treated with such ferocious awfulness, that he changes and becomes something so much more that he thought he would be when he was a child. It's a fate that no one wants, and few are pushed to.

It is tragic, immediate, disheartening,dark, terrifying, and strangely beautiful.

The first part of the story reminded me so very much of Kerouac's book Visions of Gerard. Both books are hauntingly told from the point of view of a child.

That is when Genocide changes, it is Count Of Monte Cristo in it its theme, and the most violent awfulness of a Saw movie all rolled into one genre bending book.

I will say this. I am NOT a fan of gratuitous violence, so those with sensitivities to violence, be warned. That being said. This violence, though shocking when it comes, is so visceral and pure. It never felt like violence for violence sake. It was a way of communication. An almost poem of the grotesque.

This is a book that will stay with you. Long after you have finished."

So this compilation is nothing but what its title promises: ‘Musings on Death and Dying’.

Today’s author of the day is special to me, the mod of this blog, as Esther Jacoby is someone I consider my friend. She has let me read some of the stories within the anthology linked above, and I do wholeheartedly recommend them.

Today’s Breaking Rules Publishing author of the day is Aaron Lebold with his work, Genocide. While I myself as a reader tend to stay away from darker content matter, this tale of revenge has piqued my interest. 

However, I would be remiss to not tell you that a plethora of trigger warnings are in order and that reader discretion is advised!
