No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
"Burke does a good job of creating a sense of dread despite the intentionally unappealing protagonist, and he takes the story in directions that are unanticipated. (From reading the description, you probably think you know where the story is headed. You're wrong.) It's always difficult to flesh out a character in the brief pages of a short story, but Burke does it well, which is why he is a master of the form." - Dead in the South
"...his strongest, most terrifying and disturbing piece of fiction to date." - _Horror Drive-In
"__Seldom Seen In August_ showcases Burke's continued growth as a writer. With every published piece, the characterizations get sharper, the themes become more complex, and the voice becomes more distinct. Burke continues to push the boundaries of his own fiction, showing more of his influences even as he refines his own style. With this short, powerful story, readers can continue to see where investment in the early stages of this writer's career are going to pay dividends for some time to come." - Dark Scribe Magazine

But this neighborhood is far from ordinary. Indeed it has a very specific purpose, and soon Wade will discover that life in prison would be preferable to the hellish torment Seldom Seen has in store for him.

"Read, read, read. Read everything--trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window." --William Faulkner _Lig
