Review for The Curse of the Spear and Other Stories
Isbn: 1-55395-275-8'Certainly, she has grasped the essentials of the genre [short stories], with the stories kept to a commendably short length, and a number of plot twists that took me totally by surprise. She chooses varied subjects that have the potential for dramatic treatment, and she doesn't waste any time getting to the point...
Just to prove that the author is not without emotional understanding, she concludes the collection with a story that is clearly based on personal experience, and one which will elicit a sympathetic response from many female readers...the reaction of both father and mother to the prospect of their new baby, and their mixed feelings as it grows and develops, strike a familiar note. This is skilful observation of human nature... the mutual discovery of the family unit is a good enough note on which to end - both the story and the book...
Eugen M Bacon has talent and enthusiasm...It will be very interesting to see what she achieves with her future work.'
