Darren and The Dark Lord by Daniel South

Post by Lester Curtis »

Okay, I'm nominating this for a spot on the Year's Best list right now. It entertains a question nobody asks, and does a very fine job of entertaining with it.

Plot, setting, characterization, story arc, character arc, pace, climax, denouement--all shiny--and with a light touch of humor, too.

Ten out of ten.

Read this, you won't regret it!

Just to add--Mr. South, I think you should be shopping this. Try F&SF.
