Excerpt
She says nothing, content to burrow into my chest. I look at the top of her head: thick blond hair, a line of pink scalp at her part. She’s wicked smart for her age, and I’m still trying to get used to that. The doctors have used words like gifted, genius, and prodigy. She plays piano pieces that most couldn’t master at any age. She can multiply three-digit numbers in her head instantly. She reads voraciously and beat me in chess the first time we played. People say she is a gift. I smile, but only I know what she is. She’s my child, but she isn’t—she’s a version, a duplicate.

MY REVIEW
Ten Tales of a Dark Tomorrow by Kevin A. Kuhn is a collection of short stories running the gamut from speculative fiction and alternative history to sci-fi and fantasy. The entire collection is, as the author says, a play on The Twilight Zone, and I can certainly see this as episodes of the iconic show!
Each story has a preface, where the author explains the inspirations behind it. I love reading these kinds of prefaces. It’s neat to see what triggers the train of thought leading to stories (or the inspiration behind art pieces for that matter). Each of these stories is a brilliant piece of writing, thought-provoking, with a touch of humour. I enjoyed every single one of them, which is saying something. Usually short story collections contain at least one or two stories I feel kinda meh towards. Well worth checking out!
