Book Review – Brittle Bones and Old Rope by Alan M. Clark

First published, 2012

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I really liked this short story by Alan M. Clark. The characters are well-crafted and the story, profound.

In Brittle Bones and Old Rope, a dead child, Dylan, seeks to find meaning in life and other people before moving on to an unknown future, from the field beyond the graveyard.

I found the writing powerful and the relationships intriguing. The imagery was strong and, even though the story is short, I found myself caring about the characters remarkably quickly.

I really look forward to reading more from this author. Recommended.
