Editorial Reviews

Review

"We all have different perceptions of what is perfect, peaceful and just beautiful. Our "Utopia" used to be our yearly, February vacations to Aruba. In which everything you looked at was breathtaking, peaceful, and yes, perfect ... In Author, Chad A. Clark's short, Sci/Fi story you get a glimpse through new eyes of what Utopia means for someone ... What I like about Clark's story is the message of "Never Letting Go of Your Dream", "Reach For The Stars" and still hold onto "Hope" ... Sometimes short stories give me a chance to check out new author's works. I know I will be reading more of Clark's in the new future."-Robin Lee's Darkside Reviews

Chad A. Clark is an author of dark-leaning fiction, born and raised in the middle of the United States. His road began in Illinois, along the banks of the Mississippi and from there he moved to Iowa, where he has lived ever since. From an early age, he was brined in the glory that is science fiction and horror, from the fantastical of George Lucas, Gene Roddenberry and Steven Spielberg to the dark and gritty tales of Stephen King and George Romero. The way from there to here has been littered with no shortage of books and movies, all of which have and continue to inform his narrative style to this day. Chad has written horror, science fiction and non-fiction. He has been published by Crystal Lake Publishing, Dark Minds Press, Shadow Work Publishing, EyeCue Productions, Darker Worlds Publishing and Sirens Call Publications. His books have received critical praise from the Ginger Nuts of Horror, Ink Heist, Confessions of a Reviewer, Horror DNA and This is Horror.

    I've long since despaired of stumbling upon really great short fiction, until I found this cut and polished gem. I'm naturally drawn to perfectly-executed character-driven stories, so Utopia pulled me right on in from the first sentence. I have found, I believe, a new favorite author. Bravo and well done!

    Without giving away too many details of this short work of speculative fiction, I will say that Clark does a remarkable job of world-building here. There were several nods to some dystopian classics, and I found myself truly invested in the fate of the protagonist. I was a bit disappointed by the ending, as I was anticipating more of a "punch" or a twist. Still, a very clever story.

    Great read and kept my interest. Not enough people read short stories and they seem to be a dying art form. This was a perfect light and could be read while commuting or at lunch.
