"You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from." - Cormac McCarthy, "No Country for Old Men"
In the second volume of Precipice, twenty-four authors from the Write on Edge community explore the concept of luck in twenty-six works of poetry, short fiction, and memoir.
As luck would have it, this is a great collection of poems and short stories. The work of over 20 authors, Precipice brings together tales of luck, both good and bad fortune, from the members of the online writing community "Write on Edge". You will find everything in this work from fantasy to horror, straight forward fiction to modern poetry. It is not by luck that all of these entries are each enticing in their own way - the panel that selected them has done their job very well. The styles are varied as are the voices and subject matter, but all of the pieces are joined together by the quality of the writing.
Through this book I have gotten some great glimpses into the works of old friends, but I have also learned about new authors I was not familiar with. Precipice is like a stream branching out in many different directions offering me new vistas around every corner. Good stuff and money well spent.
