And They Called Her Spider

And They Called Her Spider

2011 • 56 pages

This is a nice, quick read and serves well as a (very short) introduction to the two protagonists, an engineer and a slightly flippant, well, whatever Bartleby is.

Of course, this is a short story at best and I would have wished it to be a bit longer but it's certainly entertaining even though it felt a bit like fast food - good but it leaves a tad bit to be desired and a slightly guilty pleasure.

I might buy a complete anthology of James and Bartleby but certainly not individual stories - there's just not enough substance to justify that if all stories are as short as this one.
