This story didn’t work for me. The narration was fine, but I felt the prose needed a run through a crit group or a soiid editing session. Not my cup of tea.
Aloha Terror Tribe!
I loved the story! “Triumph” by Damir Salkovic, with it’s delicious reading by Bob Neufeld – a great take on the theme of Nazi Germany winning WWII by means of Lovecraftian dark magic/sciences. Spectacular images and really haunting ideas. YEs, the style is stilted, I think it was meant to mimic H.P. Lovecraft’s scientific journal style of “At the Mountains of Madness.” A wonderful Chill!
Thank you for the comments, the feedback is extremely helpful.
In retrospect, my thoughts are that I should have kept the style the same but told the story from a first-person POV (Junzt recounting his experiences). This is how I imagined the story as I was writing it, and the scientific journal style would have meshed better with first-person narration, as it did in many (most?) of Lovecraft’s stories. Something to think about going forward!
