Every author had to have their start somewhere. Some took a little longer to get there while some were prodigies and took care of business early on in their career. A.C. Hall, author of This Fire is Mine, is a collection of short stories that touch on just about every emotion we’ve experienced in life, every thought we’ve had about the after life and every feeling we’ve had toward life and death. The book may be a collection of short stories, but each ten of his stories intricately delivers a knock-out blow to our emotions. The storytelling is excellent. If you’ve read Phillip K. Dick, or H.P Lovecraft, then you know how true storytelling is told. While AC Hall doesn’t create a new language or fictitious words true in a fictitious environment he does cleverly compact a novel’s worth of sci fi, fantasy and action in a collection of short stories. The themes in the book aren’t cliched to death, nor are they in any way beaten in the ground. The true-to-form narration guides readers through a sea of uniqueness. A.C. Hall is also author of the novella The Path, and full length novel Pictures at an Exhibition. Hall is a writer that is sure to hit it big one day. He has many more novels ready to pour out.
