Book Reviews of Black Shapes in a Darkened Room
Book Review: A Master of Short Stories
Summary: 5 Stars
In "Black Shapes in a Darkened Room", the follow-on to his debut novel "The Concrete Sky", Marshall Moore brings his writing to a new level.
Moore delivers to the readers what his fans have come to expect: an exploration of the darkest aspects of human nature, woven with a razor wit and a sly humor that somehow make it fun. But this collection goes beyond his previous works, delivering a wild array of ideas, each one probed, explored, and exposed with a laser focus. The short story format is a wonderful boon for readers, allowing Moore to present vastly more of the lucid and disturbing products of his imagination than the novel format ever could.
The stories in this collection are haunting, stimulating, original, and utterly enjoyable - if you have the stomach for it. They'll make you squirm uncomfortably, wonder about human nature, snicker with guilty pleasure, and in the end will leave you with plenty to think about. Each one illuminates another hidden corner of the psyche, and showcases Moore's ability to give us touching but terrifying glimpses of the damaged souls that inhabit his tales.
