If you like my work, buy me a virtual cup of coffee at Ko-Fi.

I woke up this morning to find a wonderful review of the Christian SciFi anthology Shoot the Devil 2: Dark Matter by Ginger Nuts of Horror. “Dark Matter” features my short story “The Heavens Shall Declare His Glory.”

Tales by Richard Paolinelli, Frank B. Luke, and L. Jagi Lamplighter received high honors. That said, there was one drawback the reviewer found with the book:

…it’s that a sameness exists to most of Dark Matter. The theme, though broadly defined, in execution becomes increasingly monotonous; for all its testosterone-fueled military sci-fi antics, several contributions exhibit virtually identical plots: a group of soldiers/astronauts/researchers encounter some form of infernal activity…

That said, it was generally kudos for “Dark Matter.” In fact, even my wee tale got a mention:

James Pyles’ Dune-like ‘The Heavens Declare His Glory’ is a supremely suspenseful survival yarn set on a backwater desert world, where a young starship Marine inadvertently becomes embroiled in a mysterious prophecy when he intervenes on the behalf of a pregnant alien running from the law.

Naturally, I’m thrilled.
