  1. Well written piece. Unusual evocation of horror reverberating with harrowing mega-loss.

  2. carstens is the real deal. he’s editor and publisher of Epic Rites Press. check out his book and take a look at some of the other fine titles he’s recently published. i’m very honoured to be among the group of writers associated with Epic Rites Books.

  3. that’s the kind of ‘in your face’ ending i enjoy. good writing.
