Review of Samantha Murray, “This Blue World,” Flash Fiction Online 147 (January 2026): 11-13 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This story immediately presented me with two hurdles to get over: One, it’s 2nd person POV; two, it’s about ghosts. Neither of these narrative choices are my particular favorites, and I wasn’t sure that I’d get over both (or even either) of them. But Murray managed to pull it off, even if she waited until the penultimate two sentences!
