The Residue By Josh Hilden
I tend to avoid making reviews about
subpar work but I felt reviewing this story was necessary because of
how close it could have been to readable. The Residue by Josh Hilden
was definitely not a must read but it did keep me reading until the
end.
The first notable problem with the
story is the grammatical errors. While it's mostly sound, it includes
many run-on sentences that distract a little from the intensity of
the story and I don't even consider myself a grammar Nazi.
The second major problem is the
downright messiness of the storytelling which leaves the story
downright hilarious. It has the basic grotesque feel going for it but
the excessive nature of it makes it feel like a silly old horror
movie. That may actually be a plus for some people.
The ending of this story turns it into
a very interesting read.
While I wouldn't personally recommend
this story, it does show some interesting potential in a number of
departments.
