Fantastic Schools: Volume Two Reviewed by Upstream Reviews
Back in 2020, my fantasy short story Sorcery’s Preschool was published (kindle version) in Fantastic Schools Volume Two edited by L. Jagi Lamplighter.

| The story is short but not fast. The author makes great use of poetic symbolism to share his protagonist's madness with the reader. The vast majority of the book is his introspection and observations on macabre experiences in self-discovery that woul ...more | |

| Although the intended audience for this book is "young adults," I think it's a good read for everyone. While the theme of "What if Nazi Germany had won World War Two" has been extensively mined, Ryan Graudin breathes new life into it. Yael is a young ...more | |

“Now the standard cure for one who is sunk is to consider those in actual destitution or physical suffering—this is an all-weather beatitude for gloom in general and fairly salutary day-time advice for everyone. But at three o’clock in the morning, a forgotten package has the same tragic importance as a death sentence, and the cure doesn’t work—and in a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day.”
