3.5 stars.

A cautionary tale with an unusual setting, this solid little short story explores what happens when two big game hunters bite off more than they can chew...

Delivering a satisfying half hour read I'll be looking out for more of this author's work.

This was a fast paced read that I thoroughly enjoyed! There was some weird, some great writing, and wonderful world building.

This is a quick short story from Demmer. I recently signed up for his newsletter and this was one of three stories sent for doing so.

The title of this does a decent job of giving the reader an idea of what's to come; forbidden fruit tales are as old as, well, Adam and Eve. I like Demmer's exploration of this. The characters are developed as much as needed for a story of this length and the action moves well.

I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of the stories soon!
