Eerie and intense, the perfect Brian Hodge story The only negative thing I can say about this story is that I desperately want to know what happens next. With an economy of words, Hodge creates a desolate landscape peopled with fully fleshed out characters that truly touched me. I highly recommend this and anything else by this author. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The story takes place in Las Vegas, but it is not the Vegas that it used to be. All the water is gone. Is a desert city with no water still a tourist attraction? The answer is no. In fact, most Vegas residents have already left.
The story follows a boxer who suddenly has no fights. He's worked all his life to get close to a heavyweight title and now there's no one to fight. He trains by running in the desert where he finds a small trickle of water to slake his thirst.
I don't want to give away anything more about the story. I,(a boxing fan), very much enjoyed it, but I think it's an enjoyable read for a non boxing fan as well. I firmly put this novella into the category of dark fiction. I enjoyed the main characters very much, the strange environment of the new Vegas, and the bit of intrigue that develops throughout.
I also like being left with a few questions.
If you like your stories all neatly tied up in a pretty package, this may not be the story for you. If you like some ambiguity and thinking a bit about the story, I would highly recommend this one. ( )
