Rating: 5/5
Asylum of Diction penned by the author Alyssa Milani is a series of short stories and novellas. The first story Cigarette at Dawn is about the narrator who wakes up in a panic state after having the same dream again and again. So, the narrator is having a cigarette hoping that the cigarette will help in forgetting about it.
Another story Paralysis is about a man who saw a black figure approaching him while he was on his bed. Man’s wife was sleeping beside him. As the figure stopped and disappeared suddenly, the man realized that it was just a dream.
Blocked is about the emptiness that we feel sometimes. This emptiness drains us, we no longer feel any willingness to grow. Sometimes we don’t have any planned step and with no clarity, it feels like walking into the emptiness. I could relate to this story well as I had this feeling many times before.
The stories are written well. Plot of the stories are interesting. This collection of gripping stories will keep you on the edge of your seat. You could enjoy a couple of stories in one go. Cover photo of the book is lovely. Alyssa’s writing style is fantastic and her stories always impress me. I am definitely interested in reading more of her short stories collection.
