Beneath a Pale Sky by Philip Fracassi
3.0
This was one of the books in my Night Worms June 2021 box. I am still working on finishing the other book that was included.
The theme all these stories seemed to share: death, death in its strange end. Bitter, bittersweet, and odd. The ending of some of the stories were a bit lost on me, but again, I think the character some of these characters come to meet up with the end is 'death' personified.
I had some favorites, and I had some that sort of bored me. I tend to enjoy anthology style short stories where the stories intertwine/overlap, and the cover story involving the Ferris Wheel would probably be my favorite. It was a pretty gruesome tale.
It was my first time reading anything by this author, and I can see why Josh did an introduction for his book. If you like his stories chances are you'll probably enjoy his.
