Reviews for THE TEMPORAL: STORIES IN TIME AND RHYME
“Okay, what did I just read? That was freakin’ AWESOME! I’m so glad I gave this book a shot. There are short stories that read like a surreal stream of consciousness, and the poems have great insight and emotion. A great book - give it a chance even if it’s not your typical reading fare.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Simply brilliant! This collection of short stories and poems is unlike anything I’ve read - dark and deep with a strong literary, almost surreal twist. The prose is powerful … and frighteningly observant and blunt at other times. I loved “Pittman Forge.” Professionally edited and presented as well.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Wow! I am impressed and amazed by this book. In shorter stories and poetry, word choice is EVERYTHING and these authors deliver. These pieces all come across as strong, haunting, inspiring, and vivid. There is such a wide mix of topics and genres to give it such a big feel and gives more depth. I am so glad I read this, a reader’s treat, suitable for older teens and adults." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I very much enjoyed the variety of genres, topics, and narrative voices and skillful literary prose of each of the three authors. The poems and stories were all very interesting, and unique in their own right. I liked how each of them deliver a strong emotional punch and ask the deeper questions – forcing us to look through a different filter for a while. This is an eclectic mix, but it works together well, and feels very literary, surreal, and outside the box. It’s a fast read and very different from anything else I’ve read." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Stories in Time and Rhyme is a multi-genre collaboration of stories and poems by David W. Brooks, Bungalow Stokes, and Asher Roth. To say I’ve never read a book like this is an understatement! It is an addicting, intoxicating read that holds no punches and goes straight for the gut and messes with your mind, but in a really cool way. The story “Learning to Swim” was one of the weirdest/coolest I’ve ever read, and I like how ‘out there’ the author thinks. I read the whole book in a few hours, and wished there was more when it was over. I found the writing quality to be superb from each author, and I was truly impressed with the way they managed to put so many events and emotions and experiences in such a short amount of space. Highly recommend." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
