![]() ![]() We see Donny Osmond posters, potholders made for every female in Sunny’s life are made for Christmas, The Pet Rock has come onto the scene, trick-or-treating without an adult is a thing, flared jeans are the fashion and then there is the universal issues of going to middle school and growing up, changes and issues at home. These are very 1970’s themed or more accurately firmly set in the 1970’s. Therefore, first up is S unny Side Up, book two Swing It, Sunny (officially this review) and finally Sunny Rolls the Dice (which might have been my favorite of the three). However, for the aimed audience of ages 10 to 14 (maybe ages 8/9 for the stronger reader as there is some context that might be a bit “much” for the sensitive reader) it probably is best to read them in order. The good thing for the adult reader is that they should be able to pick the story up regardless of where you start. ![]() Holm and Matthew Holm Sunny series of graphic novels out of order. ![]()

The world is monstrous, is made that way, and in the end consumes us all.”Terror through the eyes of the young is especially harrowing, and Evenson commandingly quarries the rich material of childhood fears. These are disturbing stories where dissociative states are the norm, and where, as one of Evenson’s troubled characters reflects, “Anything can happen: anything. These are stories about childhood terrors and fragmented families, about mental breakdowns and post-apocalyptic upheavals, about dissolution, devolution, and paralysis. ![]() ![]() In these strange stories, Evenson expertly navigates through the mind’s dark interstices, the gnarling strands of the troubled consciousness. And they certainly wouldn’t err in choosing any of the stories in Brian Evenson’s newest collection of short stories.įugue State is brimming with disaffected wanderers, paranoids, megalomaniacs, amnesiacs, frightened children, nameless ciphers, and, in one story, cannibals. ![]() Perhaps Slate, like most anthologies of classic short stories, just needs to broaden their scope. While the discussion was innocuous enough, what mainly came to my mind while listening was how many short stories get overshadowed by the few usual suspects.

The lids of his eyes had rolled back like window shades, revealing two dark holes. Blood seeped down his teeth like painted lashes. Skin, no longer smooth like her teacher had worn in life, had now withered to the bone. A mask, like that from a horror show, replaced the face she had known. Because she was looking down at the face that was no longer there. When her mind finally registered the picture, she wished, in that instant, that she’d listened to Sheriff Jacobs.

It's as apparent in my work as anywhere else. I'm forty-two now, and as I look back over the last four years of my life I can see all sorts of cloture. Psychologists have even lifted a parliamentary term to describe this phenomenon - they call it cloture. It's nice to be able to pull away every once in awhile and say, 'There's a pattern there after all! I'm not sure what it means, but by God, I see it!' All of these wheels seem to finish their cycles at roughly the same time, and when they do - about every twenty years would be my guess - we go through a time when we end things.
