"Things Most Meaningful"
"...this story may seem too short to carry much weight, but it’s overflowing with emotions big and small." - Alex Brown for Tor.com "A Fall Backward Through the Hourglass" "The premise of the story wavers on the edge between fun/light-hearted and deeply, deeply sad. I thought it balanced on that line beautifully." - Sara L. Uckelman for SFF Reviews Lost Cargo "You have all the ingredients coming together for a lot of tension in this particular setup. It really makes for a good story that held my interest throughout. This is my first novella by P.A. Cornell and it definitely won’t be my last." - Skeleanor for Dark Dispatch "Splits" “This piece is immediately compelling to read, its mystery slowly opening up to the reader. It’s a unique science-fictional concept told with the perfect amount of distance. It suggests a larger message about family, self-parenting, and the multitudinous nature of identity without coming across as overly preachy or being too over-the-top with its theme.” – Juror comment ("Splits" won the 2022 Short Works Prize) "Splits" "“Splits” by P.A. Cornell has a striking, original idea: certain people have “split” into multiple incarnations of themselves, at different ages." - Rich Horton for Locus magazine "Shiny Things" "‘Shiny Things’ by P.A. Cornell has first-person narration by a magpie about an alien invasion, which is certainly original. A different approach and the story fits in with the theme. Even we humans are not completely hopeless." - Eamonn Murphy for SFcrowsnest "Tabula Rasa" "Thought this was going to be another story about a couple having to fall in love with each other all over again...it's not." - Vanessa Jae (via Twitter) "Kiss it Better" "P.A. Cornell takes the familiar practice of a mother kissing a child’s injury to make it feel better and transforms it into something magical. [This] portrait of motherly love is likely to touch the reader’s emotions." - Victoria Silverwolf for Tangent "Vinyl Wisdom" "...a beautiful story about family and all the complications that come with it, the gap between generations, and people trying to do what’s best for those you love without hurting them in the process." - A.C. Wise A Punk Rock Future "...a good short story is already like a punk song—fast, effective, and brutally DIY, with a fistful of meaning that explodes in your face with pure undistilled emotion. It only made sense to slam the two together." - BoingBoing |
