Review of Katie Kotulak, "Lord Mortedart's Revenge," Flash Fiction Online 128 (May 2024): 7-10 -- Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
A deity, or a demon (it's not clear which, though he's clearly something supernatural), comes to the end of their 100 year imprisonment and returns to earth -- only to find that no one knows who they are, and no one cares. It's a hilarious premise, humoristically and also thoughtfully rendered. This was a good little fun story, full of piercing moments of brief heart-wrenching tugs.
This was Kotulak's debut publication, and let me tell you: I sincerely hope it isn't the last!
