Although I usually enjoy science fiction, fantasy, horror and weird stories, the stories in this collection (with a couple of exceptions) didn't appeal to me and I found myself loosing interest in the middle of most of them. ( )

When I started this collection, I was initially drawn in by the first several stories and was highly enthusiastic about this great new collection but at about the halfway point, the steam faded and the last half was actually a chore to get through. Not that the stories weren’t good or well written, they just didn’t appeal to me. A few of these I was just totally lost on the direction or even what was transpiring at times. Perhaps it was just me being too dense, or loss of focus, but I struggled through the end of it but I did owe the author a review. If you like a mix of horror, sci-fi, and some just plain weird, I would recommend you try this collection even though about half of it it didn’t particularly appeal to my tastes. ( )

These stories are dark and strange, each in a slightly different way. Some dabble in the supernatural while others are almost mythological. And J.S. seems to have an interest in missing limbs. Of course some of the stories hit me stronger than others, but they're all well written with unique characters.

One of my favorite things about the book are the brief descriptions at the end of each story, explaining where the inspiration for that story came from. We get a rare look into the writer's mind. I wish more writers did this. ( )

Collision by JS Breukelaar.

These intelligent stories are energetic and original. You must not trust the narrator in these craftily told metaphors, however. Reality serves to emphasize the anguish, loss and despair of our mostly young protagonists. The title story is a standout and the young woman, full of determination, tries her best to negotiate the Mobius strip of circumstance, only to find herself arriving back at her satisfied point of origin. If that's not enough to entice you, how about the author's own words, "The tongue is not just a muscle in our species, but the primary inceptor organ." A minor peeve is a slight feeling of heavy handedness; but, that’s what authors do! So, don’t sweat the details, just enjoy the ride. ( )

If you are looking for a delightfully, unique collection of horror and weird (in a good way) stories, than, you should check out this anthology. Each story was something that I can't recall having ever read before; despite the fact that some of my favorite stories, Lion Man, Fairy Tale, and The Box were previously published. Another story that I really liked was Ava Rune.

Although, I will say that while, I was not over the moon with all of the stories in this anthology; there was about half to a little more than half of the stories that I did enjoy. Some of the characters were like "carnies" types from a carnival. These stories might be things of nightmares but not all nightmares are bad. I do suggest you check out this collection of stories.
