In Illuminations, the ever fantastic Alan Moore presents us with a tantalizing tapestry of stories providing a window into his extraordinary mind yet leaving us in this outing to create page-turning images for ourselves as his flowing prose unfolds. From an unsuspecting solicitor experiencing Armageddon to contrasting memories of a childhood so fondly remembered with a present so devoid of that which made earlier years so joyous, we are presented with myriad twists and turns from a man who expertly delivers exactly as a fan would expect while remaining perfectly accessible to those new to his work. A thoroughly enjoyable and varied read from one of the worlds great storytellers.

Illumination by Alan Moore is a short story collection that spans multiple years, genres and themes.
As with most story collections I found that I enjoyed some of the stories while others I found not as enjoyable. I thought Not Even Legend, and What We Can Know About Thunderman to be two of the better stories while Hypothetical Lizard was a little bizarre and long for my tastes.
One of the things apparent in the book though is Alan Moore's skill with words and a turn of phrase. I may not always enjoy what he writes but he writes it really well.
If you are familiar with Alan Moore's writing and enjoying this book will be a treat, if you've never read his work before or are only familiar with his super hero work this book will be an eye opener.
Thank you to #NetGalley, #BloomsburyPublishing, and Alan Moore for the ARC of #Illuminations.
