review 1: Having read a Burke short story once before (Turtle Boy) I just couldn’t resist giving this one a whirl, and let me tell you - I wasn’t disappointed. Burke manages to paint an atmospheric picture and takes you on a sorrowful, dark journey with some very captivating prose along the way. Now, the reason this story didn’t get a 5 star rating from me was because I wasn’t wholly certain of Paul’s motivation at the end (was his grief was too much to bear that he was giving up, or was he trying to recreate the events of the fatal night he lost his wife in an attempt to change the overall outcome?) Either way, Burke’s descriptive flare and realistic dialogue make for a very pleasurable read. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Burke is a name to watch... more for!
review 2: This Kindle short story was free. Thank you, Mr. Burke! This short is a poignant one. I could feel the pain of the protagonist who lost his wife in a gruesome car accident. That wasn't all he lost. But what can he do to make things right again? Read it and find out. This author is a master at making you feel whatever he wants you to feel. In this story, he shows off that talent yet again. Highly recommended! less

I loved the style of writing and the 'feel' of this story. Dark and touching.

One of my favorite writers. If you haven't read KPB yet, give it a shot.
