Jorg's hints at fairy tale interpretations were an entertaining beginning to this short story and made me wonder what other stories survived from our world into Jorg's. What in the world would he think of Stephen King or Neil Gaiman's stories? The twisted rendition of Sleeping Beauty was great and to me, Jorg is a damn fantastic character to read about. I love his anti-hero personality and blunt, no nonsense take on everything. Jorg needs to get something done? Fuck it, it's getting done regardless the barriers, he'll blow them up and stomp the pieces on the way through too. And of course you have his lines like, “Better open the fucking door then.” As he threatens a builder ghost with a vial of deadly virus in his escape. I laughed at this part, cheering him on. Sure spread the virus! Would love to see the fall out on that one. As long as Mark Lawrence keeps writing I will devour every story. Can't wait to read another!
