Reviews of Destiny's Telescope
"Destiny's Telescope is. . . a gem.
Scarsbrook's stories are arresting.
Anyone looking through the lens of this Telescope can't miss the author's own star -
rising up through the literary universe to a date with charmed destiny."
- Mike Gillespie, The Ottawa Citizen
"Scarsbrook writes about love, and writes about it very well.
All the stories are deeply emotional and have a tendency to affect you at a gut level.
Stark and haunting. . . deeply involving. . . exquisitely lyrical."
- Storyteller, Canada's Short Story Magazine
"After reading the very absorbing and cinematically composed story "Black Taxi", I wanted more, much more of it. . . It posesses all the elements of a fascinating novel: good characters, setting, tension, superb dialogue, comedy, pace, etc. "Black Taxi" is a writhing, living thing and I read it with admiration and excitement. . . no small acheivement."
