I’ve mentioned
some time ago my delight in seeing Andrew
J. McKiernan’s short stories gathered in a single volume, “Last Year, When We Were Young”, I was
also very eager at the time to see Andrew J. McKiernan’s debut collection
published and start digging within its contents. Well, it took me a bit longer
than I hoped, I’ve just started reading it, but although it’s still early to draw
a final conclusion I have to say that its reward is beyond even my most optimistic
expectations. I anticipated something of this kind, after all I am quite fond
of Andrew J. McKiernan’s stories I read so far, but nothing of the sort. And it
seems I am not the only one, “Last Year, When We Were Young” is pulling some
raving reviews:
"McKiernan is a
magician. He performs magic tricks in every story, spinning us around, making
us believe one thing before showing us we were wrong all along. His stories are
pure magic, staying with you like an echo long after reading." - Kaaron Warren, author of Slights & Walking the
Tree
"Last Year When We Were Young,
is proof yet again of the incredible writing talent that can be found in
Australia and further still, proof that horror can have a meaningful voice that
goes well beyond blood and gore." - Greg Chapman, Thirteen O'Clock
"A troubling
collection of weird and twisted tales. Sometimes funny, sometimes horrifying;
always clever, always disturbing. Highly entertaining!" - Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling
author of CODE
ZERO
"The sixteen tales in
the collection draw inspiration from a variety of genres and styles, with the
magically humorous juxtaposed against the frightfully repulsive, but each story
has something in common: they are all hauntingly clever." - Alayna Cole,www.mariannedepierres.com
Therefore, if you want to see for yourself what Andrew
J. McKiernan is up to in his debut short story collection you can get the Kindle
compatible ebook of “Last Year, When We Were Young” today and tomorrow at a
bargain price (Australia, UK, US). After August 1st
and 2nd for other three days you can still buy the book at a
discounted price, although it is slightly more than on the first two days of
August. And if I am not mistaken and you prefer a physical copy of Andrew J.
McKiernan’s “Last year, When We Were Young” you can get one during these days through
Satalyte
Publishing’s webstore with a 25% discount.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!
