Static Multimedia reviews Eclipse Two, giving it 3/4 stars: “This collection celebrates the short story. … While a novel lets you dive into another person’s imagination and watch a story slowly unfold before you, a short story collection is a kind of sampler platter, allowing you to bounce from idea to idea so quickly you [...]
