X by Jack Croxall

5 GOLD STARS

Short story, Post Apocalyptic

Very, very good, perfectly paced, just the right amount of information leaked out at each right time. Even the spacing between paragraphs (the big gaps that appeared on my Kindle!) were spot on. I just wanted MORE!

If you like films like 28 Days Later, you will love this - I've always been fascinated by how quickly society can break down. 'X' reminded me of a short story by Stephen King, the name of which I can't remember (helpful, yes?) - similarly, it left me with unanswered questions, but as with the SK story this didn't matter, because what matters is the situation in which X has ended up.

The cover is spot on, too!
