People love this guy
for some reason. Maybe it's just dorky sci-fi dudes, but I've never
had so many people comment on the book I was reading before. I guess
I just don't get it. His stories seem dated and half-assed to me.
The man claims to be a sci-fi writer, yet the terms he uses for futuristic
items are straight out of the first season of the old Star Trek
show, and his aliens always have blue fur. His stories always end
in some trite comment that tries to sum up his story with a lame question
or "deep" comment about death. A couple of the stories are
verging on unreadable. Others have good promise, but spoil it with
lameness. The one thing that really sticks with me is the fact that
he used the adjective "filthy" twice in the span of one
short paragraph. Is his vocabulary that stunted that he couldn't find
another word to describe dirt and grime? From what I saw, he certainly
owns a thesaurus, so I'll chalk it up to laziness or boredom. I don't
know--I guess I'll go back to my post-modern collection, and leave
the fantasy/sci-fi/horror thing for the experts.
