"To Put Away Childish Things" |
 |
|||||||||
From Sam Tomaino of SFRevu: "In 'To Put Away Childish Things', Aaron A. Polson, Santiago builds a cyborg son to replace his human one taken from him. But the child learns the wrong lessons in this tale with a nice turn at the end." From Tangent Online (KJ Hannah Greenberg): "'To Put Away Childish Things' provides some remarkable observations about the nature of humanity..." |

"Dancing Lessons" |
 |
|||||||||
|
From Tangent Online (Nathan Goldman): "...keeps the reader engulfed in the story with vivid description, characters to care about, and the sharpest prose in the collection." From SF Crowsnest: "The connotation of 'Dark Glass' had several writers looking more towards fantasy, gods and reincarnation. Although well-written these didn't hold up as well as Arron [sic] Polson's very short story, 'Dancing Lessons', where a small girl briefly aids a resurrected hobo who was temporarily augmented as his body started to fail..." |

"A
Plague from the Mud" |
 |
|||||||||
From Horror World: "...this one will keep you out of the woods for a long time..." From Fatally-Yours: "Monstrous is a delight to read, combining the nostalgia of ’50s giant creature movies with modern-day science, storytelling and twists..." From Horror Drive-In: "I had never heard of Aaron Polson before I picked up Monstrous, but I was most impressed with his entry, 'A Plague from the Mud'. It captures the personality of a small town in the grip of mounting terror quite well." From The Horror Mall: "'Crabs' by Guy Smith, Aaron Polson's 'Plague from the Mud', and Towler's
'Scales' are all standout, action-pumping suspense." |
