If you haven’t read an Eric
Lahti novel, you should. His writing is so crisp and clean, it punches
you
right in the gut. You get that sense from the review he wrote for BENEATH A FEARFUL MOON, and I couldn’t be more appreciative that he still reads my work, let
alone takes time to review it:
Timberjiggers need love too!
I’ve
always felt the novella doesn’t get enough love. In this day of digital and
on-demand publishing, there’s really no reason to focus exclusively on massive
tomes just because they’re easier to run through the printing press. Not every
story needs to be four hundred pages long and trying to stretch a shorter tale
into a full-length novel just gives you Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A
story should be precisely as long as it needs to be and no longer.
Thank
you, Mr. Lahti.
