The Black Whole

When tasting the broad range of flavors Jackie Jones has assembled in The Black Whole, remember that your tastes tomorrow will be much different than today's. More than that, though, what you read here will alter you just a tad, so that tomorrow you might re-read with a totally different eye, with totally different taste buds. Think of Secrets by Greg Rose and Tom Courtney's Unless as bookends between which Jackie has placed rich reading experiences. After reading Shay Wells' Mars or Die, you will never think of EVA in quite the same way. Jackie's own yarns (there are 3 of them) are guaranteed to twist your head around. You'll carry The Black Whole with you. You'll return to read some of the stories a second time, wondering whether you "got it" right in the first read. "I've totally hidden my copy. NOBODY else touches it. Period." says advance reviewer Christine Laden.
