Like a step into the Twilight Zone, be careful what you wish for! This novelette is sure to please the afficionado of the old television shows, especially Twilight Zone, the story is atmospheric. Even the feel is grainy black and white. Cheryl Kaye Tardif never disappoints with the quality and depth of her writing, whether full-length, novelette, short story or part of an anthology, she is consistently exploring the mind. Well-written, gripping, and with a moral buried within, Remote Control is...more

Eerie to read a detective story set in Sendai now, during the earthquake aftermath, but this 2007 thriller by Kotaro Isaka, "Remote Control" trans. Stephen Synder, 「ゴルデン・スランバー」伊坂幸太郎作, is, so far, a great read. The Japanese title, "Golden Slumbers," is from the Beatles' song, much like Haruki Murakami used "Norwegian Wood" in his monumental 1987 novel. Isaka is apparently compared to Murakami--making him a must-read for me! Not sure how to work out the Beatles influence on these two novels, 20 ye...more
This is a down'n'dirty novella that pulls you in fast and leaves you trying to keep a ten-foot pole between you and the main character. This is a good thing. :) Cheryl Kaye Tardif has done a fantastic job of characterizing both Harold and his wife, Bea. If you have a lunch-break or just need a quick read before you call it quits for the night... I definitely recommend this short.
It's the first piece I've read by her, but I'll be looking for more very shortly. :)

If you like some of Stephen King's quirky short stories or twilight zone episodes, you will really enjoy this short story from Cheryl Kaye Tardif. It will definitely put a smile on your face. I look forward to Cheryl's new book of similar short stories, entitled "Skeletons in the Closet and other creepy stories".
I bought this book on a whim, knowing it was really short, but I had loved the other two books I had read by this author. Oh my, is this one totally different from those books! The good news is that it is very much like something Stephen King would write. It was awesome!
I downloaded this novella to my kindle, and really enjoyed it!
Great short story. Typical male... though I did feel sorry for him.

Shorty book based on the cliche "Be careful what you wish for". I wish I hadn't wasted an hour of my day.
