Avec ce nouveau petit opuscule, la collection « Art bref » touche cette fois à la fiction. Skull Fragments nous révèle un écrivain d'horreur et de fantastique américain, Michael A. Arnzen, l'inventeur d'un genre très moderne, la nouvelle en trois ou quatre phrases, même si dans Skull Fragments, toutes sont liées entre elles par un préambule quelque peu horrifique. Imaginez : une banale scène de famille se déroulant dans un fast-food vire soudain au cauchemar quand la petite fille du narrateur découvre, au milieu de l'espace de jeu, un crâne humain. On bascule alors dans un univers inquiétant et vertigineux. Inventif et brillant, Arnzen se révèle un maître dans l'art de faire surgir du quotidien l'horreur en quelques phrases.

Skull fragments

Dastard sournois, intelligemment conçu, et tout simplement beaucoup de plaisir à lire, la perception de la mort est Lee Allen Howard en feu et à son meilleur. Rife avec une étrangeté victoire, c'est comme le beau-fils mutant de Carl Hiaasen et Stephen King, mélangeant une histoire paranormale vraiment unique avec une distribution excentrique de personnages noirs décalés dans un roman qui est tout simplement inoubliable ... et hilarant original. Une histoire de crime surnaturel, flamboyant avec une intrigue créative ... ne le manquez pas.

De son style, vous pensez que Jason Brannon était le double sombre de Ray Bradbury. Il se soucie davantage du caractère et du réalisme que la plupart des écrivains que j'ai lus et ses parcelles coulent comme de la musique bien orchestrée. En effet, l'écriture de Brannon a une sensation classique, rappelant le meilleur travail traditionnel du genre, même quand il opte pour une terreur et une torture déchirantes.
