*****

With evocative language and a light-footed turn of phrase,

Plume presents his ghoulish world in full colour.

The author's sense of rhythm and delivery delightfully and humourously proves him to be a vivacious resident

of that zone between poetry and prose. Worth reading for that alone, it quickly turned out to be a 'ighly intriguing

short story as well. Plume provides that type of read I look to Heinlein or Pratchett for, one that absorbs one's

full imagination.

*****

The funniest story I’ve read in a long time!

The writing style is very impressive and often adds to the hilarity. The characters are totally unforgettable, and the plot was consistently engaging. The world building is incredibly thorough and makes me desperate to read the rest of the tales from Lyons & Hound.
