From the moment I first loaded FISH into my Kindle app, something smelled funny. Despite the aromatic warning, I couldn't resist continuing onward through the digital pages, ignoring my best judgment, and experiencing Max's fulfilling release of creative juices once finished.
"When
a boy, desperate for sex, finally finds a lover, he gives himself to
her completely, body and soul. She will ensure that he does anything
necessary to protect her, and their family..."
Honestly, I thought that this would be a mere lustful teenage love story riddled with a twist somewhere near the end. I should have known better with an author like Mr. Booth III involved. This is one of the most disgustingly beautiful short stories I have read in quite a while, and would recommend it to anyone with an extra 99 cents in their bank account. Hell, charge your Kindle reader battery and shorten that electric or heat bill by a dollar. This read is worth a month without unnecessary luxuries; the cavemen didn't need such extravagant wants, why do we?
In all seriousness, Max Booth III is a fantastic writer and well deserving of praise for his works; short and long. His dedication to the craft of writing, and to his fans, is only equated by a select few. Dare I say he is one of my literary heroes? (Or is that creepy and stalker-ish?) Regardless, Max is quite talented and this short story samples his abundant talent within.
Books are the gateway into worlds unreachable by other means. Within their pages, the darkness of our minds breaks through the cloudy veil of our restrictive lives to take us far and away.
