This eclectic collection of short stories never gives readers a chance to predict what the next page will bring.

What I Liked:

• It’s a great group of stories in multiple genres, which is perfect for readers who can’t commit to a favorite. The varied subject matter and tone of the stories make each reading session a mystery.

What I Didn’t Like:

• As with any anthology of this type there is a great variance in the experience levels of the writers. Some stories read easier than others.

 
Would I Recommend This and to Whom:
I recommend this to just about anyone who enjoys short fiction. You’ll enjoy stories that are heart-wrenching, surreal, introspective, and some that will make you leave the light on at night.
 
Favorite Stories:

• My Wife’s Favorite by Douglas Esper
• The Uncanny Mr. Bones by Jacob Prytherch
• Hungry: The Memoir of Abby Snow by Kim Loraine
