Space Ships & Other Trips is the second book of author Raven Oak’s short story collection. This collection doesn’t have a strong theme tying the stories together and the stories range from science fiction to dystopia to psychological horror. Like all short story collections, there are stories that I liked better than others and stories that I wish could have been full books. Some of my favorite stories include:
Loss of Luna: A lyrical story of Earth’s love for the moon. This story was sweet, timeless and explores loneliness and proximity.
Hunger: Explores our love and willingness to do anything for our pets as well as how technology can aid us in understanding them. A sweet and realistic tale for any cat owner.
Q-Be: A technological thriller that dives into our dependence on our phones. This story had characters that I could easily connect with and I would love to see this expanded into a longer book.
Ol’ St. Nick: An interesting take on Christmas traditions complete with space mobsters. I really enjoyed this spaceship mystery.
Scout’s Honor: A story set in a future world where cities have taken to the sky from the Last Cities of Earth Universe. I was quickly connected to the rag-tag group of characters, especially Scout.
