The Clam before the Storm

Elinor explores the dark side of the human consciousness. Griffiths has successfully recreated a horror poem which strikes as completely authentic for its genre. He is a fine writer and any collection of his is worth reading.

Buena Vista is reminiscent of old television programs such as The Andy Griffith Show and Dukes of Hazzard. The author captures the parochial feel of those golden television hits and anyone familiar with small town America will find an identifiable character. It's well-written, funny and a highly recommended read.

Memoriam is a sci-fi story in the spirit of Philip K Dick, which tackles the eternal love/hate relationship we sometimes have with our parents. If the rest of this collection is anything like it, you're in for a thoughtful and provocative treat.

The Presence of Jalendu a short, simple tale of a shopkeeper and a beggar, kept coming back to me long after I finished reading, mainly because of its enigmatic ending. Like all good stories, it manages to say something about the strange, confusing business we call Life - and that's exactly the kind of story we look for at Cadenza. We were delighted to be given the opportunity to publish it.
