Book Review: Shoeshine Boy & Cigarette Girl

A thoroughly delightful retro-futuristic noir fairytale novelette from P.A. Cornell.

I had the chance recently to read and review P.A. Cornell’s newest release, The Astronaut Among the Flowers and Other Stories and was very impressed with the storytelling, character work, and writing style.

Alan K. Dell liked Azalea Forrest's status update Azalea Forrest is 10% done with Imbued: The writing is just impeccable. I'm still drawn in right away, even on a reread. There is basically no exposition: you're right there, in the world, with all its worldbuilding, and it just feels so natural.
