Not A Jot or A Tittle: 16 Stories by Robert Pope
In Not a Jot or A Tittle, Robert Pope presents us with 16 magnificent short stories that not only explore myth, magic, aliens, androids, love and murder, but also reality as it is and what it means to be human, regardless of genre or setting. Writing in a direct, honest style, Pope gets right to the essentials while paying proper heed to the details, advancing each story at the perfect pace. Each compact tale makes the reader hunger for the next, as all are set within beautiful, evocative, enigmatic atmospheres combining horror and delight in a way that only Robert Pope can! –Albert Mamet, Editor-in-Chief, A Speculative Fiction Zine Robert Pope’s Not a Jot or a Tittle offers us 16 concise, beautifully written short stories, each a door into the author’s rich imagination, each bubbling with substantive reflections, and all set in atmospheres where the touch of fantasy provides an opening to myth, hybrid creatures, alien landscapes, cyborgs, and most importantly, an exploration of the depths of human emotion ‘in the thick of it all.’ It’s not often that one comes across such a wonderful collection—this one will occupy a central spot in my library for years to come! –Fiona Chew-Mcleod, Assistant Editor, A Speculative Fiction Zine
