Today - we bask.
Part of being an author is shameless self-promotion. I'm learning that. Over at the website I put together a "Review" page for my story Symbiosis. It's accessible from the main page of the website.
I thought I'd add the info here as well:
Symbiosis Reviews
My short story, Symbiosis, in Evolve Two has received a good
deal of positive attention from reviewers.
Here’s what people are saying:
Publishers Weekly:
“a simple attempt at companionship between a lonely human
and an unexpectedly endangered vampire in David Beynon's "Symbiosis.”
Innsmouth Free Press:
“The last piece of the first section, David Beynon’s
“Symbiosis”, is one of the stronger pieces in the book, largely because of its
streamlined (emotionally potent) structure and extraordinarily effective
writing. It’s a prototypical “down and out” interchange between two characters
in a world gone mad with paranoia, that’s chosen to focus its wrath on an easy
target: vampires. And it’s got a great premise, which Beynon himself put best
in his wrap-up: “‘Symbiosis’ arose from a news story about thermal imaging used
to screen for spiking levels of fevers of clientele at a nightclub in
Singapore. I wondered what they would do if they discovered someone registering
as room temperature.”
SFRevu:
The best story in the book is, arguably, David Beynon's
"Symbiosis", a splendid, insightful piece rewriting the difficult
relationship between men and vampires by emphasizing their similar conditions
of loneliness and need.
Vampchix:
“ "Symbiosis" by David Brynan is a quiet tale
of politeness and dispair.”
