Short One Star...

I've finally found it--simply the best collection of short works by some of the best authors ever. It doesn't matter which genre you prefer, there is a sampling of enough different styles and scenarios and storylines to intrigue just about anyone. The collected tales run from plain and simple to complex and thoughtful, and each one superbly crafted by the best darn storytellers ever. Five stars isn't enough to properly highlight this exquisite piece of literature, six or seven at least would be better.

A visit with old friends

This is a trip back to the salad days of "The Green Hand," a group of friends including Charles Beaumont, William F. Nolan, Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, and others. Most of the stories are new (including mine). A bit of sci-fi, some fantasy, a mainstream story or two, all by old pros.
