I have more stories set in my teen years, but I’m eager to jump ahead in my tales and talk about a name I’ve spoken and written about for quite some time – always in praise and love. I’m talking about none other than Kaaron Warren, a woman with a dark mind and talented pen, because her works go in places most writers shy away.
I’m forever grateful to Angry Robot, which have taken a chance on a young reviewer with not a lot of influence in the genre and given him books to read (I’m still surprised when that happens), because “Slights” by Kaaron Warren was among the publisher’s first releases. I’m not an active horror reader per se (fantasy runs in these veins, boys and girls), but it’s hard not to consider this a novel inherently ahead of its time, concept-wise.
Back in 2010, I had the following to comment:
“A most grotesque mosaic of human debauchery and demoralization, whose beauty lies within the intricacy of its design.”
