Butt In The Mean Time, I Try To Hawk One…

In The Mean Time

All floating in glass...

My review of Paul Tremblay‘s speculative collection, In The Mean Time, is now ending worlds at The Cult.

Further proof that less is sometimes more, Paul Tremblay returns with a collection of shorts that excite the imagination with their potential. Not potential as in underdeveloped ability, because Tremblay has already proven himself an accomplished craftsman, but potential as in the expressing of possibility. Unfettered by the constraints of the novel, Tremblay is free to explore the mystery of vague ideas without rendering the work unfulfilling. The spaces between the words, where these stories live and breathe, represent the author at his most interesting, ensuring that In The Mean Time will resonate  long after the last page has been read.

Looks like I have fallen prey to not one, but two crafty she-devils.
