[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

In chess, there are masters and grandmasters. So are in flash fiction. Tom Hazuka is, without a doubt, a long-time grandmaster of that genre, which is, unlike chess, not a game. In this slim, award-winning book, sixty-three flashes dazzle, entertain, and make you think. I’m partial to Headless Angel because I published it years ago in Vestal Review, but all of the stories here are of the same peerless quality. Take the title flash, Visible Human, for example. A quarter of a page long, both scary and funny, it packs a punch worthy of 10,000 10,000-word opus. Or Saab Story, which may or may not be a detective story. Thank you for the reading pleasure, Tom. I hope more is coming.
