Nights of Terror, Days of Excitement

This is a collection of Steve Frazee's short stories. They run the gamut of exciting, to creepy, to oddly humorous, to poignant. Each of the tales is well written, with intriguing characters shaped out of classic archetypes. I suppose my favorite piece is the eponymous "Nights of Terror" in which Something is slaughtering folks in the dead of night. A rousing adventure story, which manages to be eerie and fun. Highly enjoyable.
