Depressing Flash Fiction

TWENTY-FOUR AND A BOTTLE OF RYE by Adam Vine is one of the author's earlier stories, and I'm happy to say his writing has much improved.

The depressing tone doesn't bother me as much as the open ending. I feel sorry for Max's wife.

If you want to see how the author's writing style has changed, check out THIS DOOR IS LOCKED.

Sci-Fi Suspense

THIS DOOR IS LOCKED by Adam Vine is deep for a short story. David searches for an alien race called The Wanderers, traveling through Escher Doors. Comparing the unusual mode of travel to jazz is a great touch.

The ending isn't a complete surprise, but the story is still enjoyable. I would have liked to know more about the aliens, and why David is so obsessed with finding them, but those details aren't necessary.

I also recommend Vine's GENE CATCHER, another sci-fi short.

Tinder Terror

Gene Catcher by Adam Vine is a great mix of science fiction and horror. As a matter of fact, I think the author should write a follow-up full length novel because he's created a very original and intriguing monster. I also think many readers will be able to relate to the setting of an online dating nightmare. Paul, the main character, should've remember how dangerous some STDs can be...

Adam Vine is a talented writer, and I invite you to check out his other stories.
