Author Interview: Tom Mock

Check out my review of Tom Mock’s short story ‘Moon Song’ here!

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?

Paperbacks and audiobooks for me! Hardbacks are nice to look at, but I’ve never enjoyed holding them. I like to read lying down or otherwise folded into the couch, so it’s all pliable covers and cheap paper for me. The magic is in the words, not the wrapper.

Moon Song by Tom Mock

At daybreak, if she was right, the sun would split the ocean from the sky and rush across the water to meet her atop the eastern most dunes as she would be ever after—new. If she was right. If any of us could ever be anything except exactly what we are.

I was really impressed by the prose in this tale. The atmosphere was really well set by the author and maintained throughout. I don’t want to spoil it, as it’s quite short, but definitely a dark, enthralling read....
