Review of Teresa Koeppel, “Bussola,” Luna Station Quarterly 64 (December 2025): 101-110 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
At the start of this weird little ghost story, Koeppel sets up some rules which I then spent the rest of the story watching carefully to see whether — and how — they would be kept. There were subtle inconsistencies that end up bothering me probably way more than they should have, making me pause to scroll back up to make sure I hadn’t read something wrong or misremembered. I don’t mind an unreliable narrator or an inconsistent story when it is clearly a deliberate construction of an author; but I wasn’t entirely convinced that these here were. End result: Not really my kind of story.
