David Cranmer recommended this collection to me and I’m so glad I listened. If you enjoy well written suspense & mystery, I couldn’t recommend this collection more. And at the price, you can’t beat it (not even to a pulp-haha). My absolute favorite is “Poisoned“ by Stephen Gallagher. The story builds with the feeling that something isn’t quite right, but you aren’t sure what it is. Gallagher is incredibly clever and leverages the story with just the right balance. You’ll fall in love with the main character and be left with one of those “OH SHIT” moments where you wonder what you would do, and there is no answer. I love that.
Another story I enjoyed was Bill Crider’s “Death’s Brother.” His stories are like driving those twisty, turny mountain roads at night. You’ve got to keep your eye on those turns because if you don’t you’ll end up not knowing where you are or how you got there. If you like dark tales, you’ll like this one.
I really enjoyed Vicki Hendricks’ “The Big O.” This story is sexy, sad, (sexy) suspenseful, smart, and… sexy. It’s about a young woman who manipulates men out of their pants and money so she can finally get her “chance” at life, which, by the way, just happens to be her little baby boy’s name. The story climaxes with mayhem, murder and a whopping hurricane. Yeehaa.
I won’t soon forget a futuristic sci fi-ish piece by Ed Gorman called “The Baby Store.” It’s about living in a world of ultimate choices and conveniences. What if you could go right down to a shop like a grocery store and choose what kind of child you wanted to have? You could pick out the hair color, eye color, personality traits. Viola! Baby nine months later! But what if the child isn’t what you ordered? How would the society treat your child? How would they treat you? Would you care if your child wasn’t up to standards? This story explores the ugly side of beautiful people, really and truly, our world today in dramatic measures, and perhaps where we are going. Scary stuff. Excellently written.
Buy this anthology. It will give your imagination something to gnaw on for a good couple of hours. ( )
