Corridors

by Michael Galloway

An inventor must use his wits and a box of electronic dragonflies to defeat a rival bent on revenge. To cheat death, a scientist uploads his mind online. Will his ideas endure or will they take everybody with him? A convict is sentenced to work at an intergalactic Bible factory, but will his attitude send him back home? Corridors is a collection of tales set in a world of dreams and danger. It is a world inhabited by those who seek to push the limits of the mind. It is a world where technology comes to life or takes on a life of its own.

A good short story is hard to write; they have less space to write a story that feels competed and while some of these stories have potential, but overall I felt like they wrapped up too soon and would have been so much better if they were fully developed.

I won this book in a Goodreads' giveaway, but the opinion is all my own.

Once I stepped into the ‘Corridors’ of Michael Galloway’s new book, I didn’t want to step out! The only thing I can say this book lacked was MORE stories from this incredibly talented man - I didn’t want it to end. It’s not just science fiction, it’s also a showcase of the types of decisions people make when faced with unexpected and unbelievable choices. Some stories are in the far and unusual future, some are just a hop and a step ahead and you can feel yourself standing there, as surprised and confounded as the characters in the story. Whether it’s chasing after robot dragonflies, a new way to portray religion, what story writing in the future may entail, or any kind of upload or download involving the human brain, you are guaranteed a satisfying read in easily digestible bites! I can’t thank Goodreads enough for sending me this book, ‘Corridors’. I definitely want to read more from this author.

I received this book through Goodreads First Reads. It is a collection of 14 short stories (2- 14 pages each). I've never read a book of short stories like this before, so it was a totally new experience. I really enjoyed some of the stories and wish they were a full length book. The writing was extremely descriptive, especially for the limited number of pages per story.

while I liked mr. Galloway's style of writing. His stories were hit and miss with me. Image management was a very good story, but even for short stories there was not a lot of set up.This book was ok. Not one of my favorites, and I doubt I would read this book again. With that being said, I would give another book written by mr. Galloway a try.

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

A very enjoyable read. Many of the short stories contained in this compilation could definitely form the basis of a truly interesting novel. Thank you Michael for sharing your work with me.

What a delightful treat. Small snippets that leave you wishing for more. This collection reminded me of good old fashioned sci-fi anthologies like "Weird Stories" and "Amazing Tales".
