An Ancestral Revenge

MOUSE AND OWL by Bracken McLeod is dark short story about revenge, written in the style of folklore. While the main character carries out her plan, details of the dystopian society are revealed. The erasure of a culture, while placed in a fantasy setting, is reminiscent of real life history.

The ending has the perfect touch of horror, without taking away from the message of standing up to genocide. I recommend this one to all readers.

As always,
