The Hot Bolt Kids by Cody L. Stanford

Post by Lester Curtis »

This story has real personality -- well, several, if you want to look at it that way. Kind of a supernatural-noir-blended narrative. Wonderfully done; he puts Charles ("Charlie") Darwin in the same universe with a bunch of mythical beasts and wizardry, and then turns the ending in a direction I didn't expect.

Setting and characters had an authentic and distinct feel about them . . . I'd say it was colorful, if you take 'gray' as a color . . .

Cody's bio indicates experience and practice, and this story shows it; it is an artfully crafted piece of work. Read it!
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
