Mike has written a nice, compact zine of nice, compact stories, none more than a few hundred words. Some might think that is too short of time to create something of interest or to get the reader involved. However, somehow he pulls it all together. These stories were all written after Mike’s mom died, but the vast majority have nothing to do with that topic. Mike also wishes to inform us (as he does both in the opening and closing notes) that he is a liar and you can’t trust anything he says. So who knows if some of these stories really happened; it’s obvious some didn’t, but it really doesn’t matter. While capable of pulling out some emotions from the reader here or there, it’s also a quick read and a fun zine. –Kurt Morris (5666 Split Oak Ln., Tallahassee, FL 32303)
