Reviews

[Lisa Hanson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This anthology contains my first piece of published writing. A short story called "How to Close the Wound." The MOTA series was a good collection out of a small publisher called Triple Tree Press. There aren't many copies of them around, but the editors made interesting selections and the stories are varied and interesting around the theme. If you find one, check it out!

I won’t leave a rating since I only read one story: The Wages of Sin by Paul Finch. It was pretty good. An average Finch.
