Review of Emlyn Meredith Dorneman, “To Ashes,” Flash Fiction Online 142 (July 2025): 16-19 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.

I loved the way that Dorneman’s use of language felt like an assault on the senses, replicating in my reading the story the same experiences of the characters within the story. It all felt a bit overwhelming, and strange, and increasingly horrifying.
