Customer Reviews

Good writing, not spooky

The title of my review tells it all in a nutshell. These stories are uniformly well-written, but they aren't very spooky, or much in the horror vein. If you enjoy a good story that's well told, I recommend this book. If you are looking for tales of the supernatural, etc., this one isn't for you.

Exciting Young Authors Reinvent the Genre

I found this book to be an exciting romp with some of the best new authors in the business. I was especially drawn to Curtis Smith's tale "Insomnia" which I found to be as haunting as any more typical "ghost" story. He is truly a person with an unique perspective. I look forward to more stories from this new talent.
