Reviews

[Dennis P · Rating 4 out of 5]

These volumes in the MC Complete Stories series are textbook lessons in short story writing. His stories read well, are always insightful, and keep the reader's attention.
If there's any fault to MC's short stories, it just may be they're almost clinical. Each story is so precise, so well constructed and done with such apparent ease, that MC may suffer because he makes the process and results look easy.
Absolutely worth a read and yes MC deserves a place in any discussion of great English short story writers.
