Unwell by Carolyn Parkhurst — Review

The short story “Unwell” by Carolyn Parkhurst tells about an old woman who did bad things to her sister in her youth including stealing her fiancé from her. Having learned unsightly details about the current betrothed sister, what will this woman do? … The author keeps intrigue up to the end of the story.

The story is interesting, including the manner of the author, humor, banter, and kind of irony over the characters.

Skin by Roald Dahl - Review

The story “Skin” by Roald Dahl describes Paris in the 1940s. Everything that happens to an old and lonely man named Drioli is directly related to the events that took place during his distant youth.

It is shocking that the main character is presented to the reader as a thing. He himself, probably, did not suspect that he would become such a thing for other people. It's creepy.
