![]() ![]() ![]() Warning, on a Kindle, the story finishes at about 25%. This is one of the best short stories I have read for a long time. ![]() These phrases will probably make perfect sense if you have read Beyond Redemption however, the terminology made sense to me when aligned with the context. There are some complex terms here that may seem confusing initially for a new reader to Fletcher’s world. Fire and Flesh is a quick, sharp, cruel, action-packed Grimdark tale that seems to have more deaths than pages and an awesome finale. There is a large supporting cast too but this isn’t overwhelming in nature. Pizarr and Gehirn are well-crafted and suprisingly deep for such a short book. There are no heroes here, just people living their lives in what seems like a horrendous world. We follow Gehirn’s point of view during these 17-pages and he likes to burn people. The two main characters are the decaying, flesh-tattered ship Captain, Pizarr, and his onetime friend, the Pyrocaster, Gehirn. For a short book, I must admit, it is mesmerisingly detailed as well as being thrilling, haunting, fast-paced, and violent. Fletcher advised me that this 17-page-narrative would be fine to approach before reading Beyond Redemption so, one rainy day I frequented a local British pub and whilst enjoying a pint of cider, I devoured the story within an hour. I haven’t yet read that series but it has been on my radar for a while. Fletcher’s short story, Fire and Flesh is a standalone tale from his Manifest Delusions series. ![]()
