In a Mist

by Devon Code

In a Mist explores longing, loss and isolation. This debut collection of short stories examines the lives of socially isolated individuals with obsessive interests and desires. These lonely protagonists find solace in emotionally evocative forms of cultural expression such as early jazz, classic cinema and renaissance motets. The transcendent potential of music is a recurring theme of this collection.

[Wan Ni · Rating 2 out of 5]

In the spirit of a short story anthology it is perfectly reasonable to jump through space and time; one moment we are in the 1970s, then we are brought to the Middle Ages only to be throw into the 22nd Century. This largely confuses me especially when scene setup comes late into each story. I wanted to like this book, but some stories bore me such that I had to skip them.
