Review: A dramatic little story with an interesting, if a bit uncomfortable, twist!
Promises Made, Memories Kept is a dramatic return home, after the death of a father who couldn’t accept Harry as an open gay son. The return home is painful, regretful, and a bit twisted and even spooky.
The writing is smooth and well-edited. They plot a bit of a cross between Poe, Shakespeare, and Homer, and the sexual content completely secondary if a bit uncomfortable.
A worthwhile read for a short story, and a very strong plot twist!
