Review of The Beekeeper


Just wanted to share a review of my short in the Anthology released on Monday.

Thanks for the support everybody...

The Beekeeper from Weirdly: A Collection of Strange Stories

One of my favorite tales of the whole collection, The Beekeeper delves into the mind of a dying man. A stubborn man who, in his younger days, ruled his household in a strict manner. With his wife no longer living, The Beekeeper is cared for by his daughter. A daughter whom he failed to express his feelings for. She needs her father to tell her just once that she is loved—and has reasons for wanting to hear those precious words.

A literary feel to this one, and immensely enjoyable if you like tales with a deeper meaning. With a hint of creepiness and otherwordly-ness (is that even a word?),

I'll remember this tale forever. It must be PMT or something, as this one made me cry like a snotty kid. Brilliant! Not brilliant that I cried and snotted, but a brilliant tale.
