reparation - 5 stars

THIS WAS SO BLOODY GOOD OH MY STARS

watchworks - 5 stars

the golem of mala lubovnya - 4 stars

It's surprising for me to say that after three previous Frankenstein themed stories, but this last one is disturbing!

Whaaaaat?! Now that story confuses me...

Reparation by Eli Easton is an amazing short story!! Perfectly constructed and far reaching in its impact. Wonderful!

“You… you have tattoos?”
“This body does.”

'Were all recons forbidden from using electronics to limit them to manual labor?'

I guess SOMEONE should read the manual when getting a recon.

'Whose characteristic is that lopsided grin? Edward wondered. The body’s or the mind’s?'

So good!!

This reminds me so much of gay beauty and the beast in space ;-)

Edward is the ultimate male damsel in distress.

'He looked up at the window, half-expecting to see the black and stars of deep space. But there was only the planetary darkness of Kalan, interrupted by the wisps of mist that caressed the face of the glass.
Sighing, he opened the book and started to read.'

All the 'creatures' in these stories are so grateful and accepting of their fate. I absolutely love them. Knox is another beautiful addition to this line of lovable 'monsters'.

The third story is just as great as the first two. I love it!!

'What would it be like to wake up and find himself conscious in another’s body?'

Good question, ask him!!

'Most recons were not very bright. Edward had always thought their brains must be damaged in the process. They took simple orders well enough, but in their off hours they watched endless movies on the vid con.'

I'm not commenting that, LOL.

'His entire body, save the liver, was from one prisoner. His brain was from another.'

So they decided to change the brain in a perfectly functioning body?! Wow, no wonder it's got a Frankenstein theme.

I love this book!!! I absolutely love every story so far.

This collection of short stories is spectacular! Watchworks by Jamie Fessenden is EXACTLY the kind of story I've always been looking for!!

Oooh, I get it!!! Clocks! That guy is a watchmaker! I was wondering about his weird obsession with cocks, LOL. The L was kinda important.

The first story was simply amazing!! Can't wait to read the next!

“I don’t have these,” Emet said, glancing down at his own blank chest.
“Nipples. They don’t serve any purpose to a man. But… oh. That feels nice.”

I love this story. It's so sweet...

“Do I look like a real man?” Emet asked.
Jakob smoothed his palm over the letters inscribed on Emet’s chest. “I’ve never seen another man naked."

LOL, he does have a point there.

“Do you understand… God?”
“No. But I am grateful he allowed me to be created. I want to please him and protect his people.”
The rabbi smiled. “Then perhaps you understand enough.”
