My Thoughts
Through The Inside Out Worlds: Visions of Strange , Sophie Jupillat Posey showcases an amazing collection of ten stories that are willing to experiment and tantalize readers with new takes on classic themes and by exchanging the ordinary for the avant-garde. Folktales and lore come alive, the characters rise, the depths of space are traversed, and magic threads itself through singular moments of love and loss, illuminating the circulatory nature of life, death, the in-between, and the hereafter. The Inside Out Worlds: Visions of Strange Science Fiction and Fantasy captures the all-too-real cataclysm of human nature, claiming its place in the series with compelling prose, lyrical composition, and curiosity’s never-ending pursuit of discovering the unknown. It’s really something else, a fresh take on science fiction that messes with your head for sure.
This is a solid collection. I found some new and interesting stories to read. It is easy to get caught up in Sophie Jupillat Posey's fiction fantasies. She conjures her reader right into the midst of the mayhem and magic through the eyes of likable, believable characters. This collection, mixed though it is, will be treasured by her fans. Stories within are still marvelous. I loved the stories then, and I am glad I purchased this compilation so I can enjoy them again and again and again. I look forward to the next volume.
With these phenomenal selections, Sophie Jupillat Posey nimbly demonstrates the genre’s continued potential for rich ideas.
Highly Recommended!
