Robin's Review

Chambers of the Heart: 
Speculative stories
by B Morris Allen

A heart that's a building, a dog that's a program, a woman who's sinking irretrievably - stories about love, loss, and motion. A collection of speculative stories from author and editor B. Morris Allen.

•Chambers of the Heart - it's hard, living in someone's   heart
•Building on Sand - how to choose between children
•Blush - when everyone else wears a mask, what's it like to bare your face?
•Minstrel Boy Howling at the Moon - magic, music, and ... buffalo?
•Fetch - she may be a simulation, but out on the edge, she's one man's best friend
•The Humblebract Expedition - even dying children like to play
•When Dooryards First in the Lilac Bloomed - a doorway to opportunity and change, if only humans can understand it
•Some Sun and Delilah - a sunny island, an abandoned temple, and though
•Crying in the Salt House - the house is built from tears, or so they say
•Full of Stars - jar half empty, jar half full
•Memory and Faded Ink - the aliens are perfectly human ... and just as flawed
•Fountainhead - arranged meetings never work, especially with different species
•Adaptations to Coastal Erosion - when your spouse is literally falling away from you
•Outburst - Earth is dead, except for a few teens on a decaying orbital
•The Irrigation Ditch - they came to hide, but didn't realize it was from each other
•Dragons I Have Slain - take hope where you find it

Robin's Review: Wow! This is an incredible collection of short stories of speculative fiction. B. Morris Allen has put together a combination of stories that show imagination and are extremely entertaining. Each story is beautifully written and thoroughly engrossing. 

I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag so I will say each story is unique and entertaining all its own, when it’s all put together, I can’t do anything but highly recommend “Chambers of the Heart”

It was my pleasure and honor to receive a free copy of this book from the author but that does not in any way affect my opinion in this review of these entertaining stories.
