After reading Andrew Pyper's exciting novel, The Demonologist, I just had to read something else by him. After a quick search, I found a free short story (I'm a sucker for a free short story), Call Roxanne. (Also, I just finished Cyrano de Bergerac and Roxane!) This is not a story about a girl named Roxanne, it is a story about a boy and his father. Something is wrong with the boy and I think something is wrong with the father. I thought the relationship between father and son was interesting. I wish I knew more about them. I loved the way the trip to the hospital was woven into the story without being obvious. I thought the introduction of Roxanne was interesting and the way she popped back up at the end. It ends so abruptly though, I wish I knew more about the boy and what happens to him. Call Roxanne has definitely made me eager to read more of Andrew Pyper's works.
