Reviews have come in for the anthology Unburied: A Collection of Queer Dark Fiction. Here's what some people are saying about my story. Full disclosure, two other reviewers mentioned my story as the one they didn't care for but I already know I'm not everyone's cup of tea.*

“When the Dust Settles” by Sarah
Lyn Eaton (short story) - A story of bodily autonomy as the survivor of a
cave-in adjusts to a new robotic arm and leg that don’t seem to be integrating
well. The piece is intense and looks at the line between the human machine and
less biological machines, and the feeling of invasion and disconnection that
comes from traumatic injuries. A fine read!

"When the Dust Settles"
by Sarah Lyn Eaton: 4.5 Stars!
"Now, this is an interesting
story, one I definitely wish was a full-length book. I could vividly picture it
and while I may not be a huge fan of Sci-Fi it definitely gave off a cool
RoboCop/Terminator kind of vibe for me."

"Sarah Lyn Eaton creates a chilling tale of off-world
horror in “When the Dust Settles,” where an injured asteroid miner is
recovering from her wounds, but does not remember her accident. She has been
fitted with some prosthetic limbs which she is still learning to control, or
are they learning her?"

"I also enjoyed Sarah Lyn
Eaton’s “When the Dust Settles,” an interesting SF/horror story about an
asteroid miner’s accident and the replacement limb she receives as a
result. "

"Shifting gears to
science-fiction realms, "When the Dust Settles" by Sarah Lyn Eaton
takes us off-world, where mining laborers are as expendable as the automated
body parts they require after accidents. But where does the human end and the
robotic appendage begin?"
