Good Review

NFG #6 got reviewed, my story's 3rd from the top:

http://www.tangentonline.com/index.p...543&Itemid=262

"Strange Love, Doctor" by Mike Coombes takes a dark tour of two disturbed young souls. Sarah is tormented by her solitary, insignificant existence and so takes to cutting herself. She slices line after parallel line up her arm until "she is wearing a long red glove." David surrounds himself with images of pain—from photographs to videos. He works in an emergency room, reveling in the death and pain around him, stealing photographs of an autopsy from the pathology lab. David discovers his neighbor, Sarah, in the hallway and their secret passions become intertwined in a tragic and erotic spiral. Coombes switches point of view back and forth between Sarah and David, providing the reader an intimate view of the depth that a person will fall to relieve the numbness that permeates their psyche. This story deftly combines desperation, yearning, and loneliness into a chilling tapestry of modern horror.
