I am addicted to short stories. I even liked them in the English Lit classes in High School. It is easier, I think, for an author to sustain a mood, or intensity level, or tension than in a novel.
If you like short stories then try out this book. I have been buying these books for over 20 years. There is a different editor every year, generally an author of some renown, who selects the stories so you get a little insight into what they like. Also, they have a small bio of each author selected that is interesting and they write a little about what inspired them to write the story. Often is just an image they had in their mind. It is amazing that some of the stories have been years in the making and sometimes dozens of drafts.
This book contains the latest craze, a vampire love story. It also has failed redemption after cold blooded murder. Also science fiction, love turned cold. All sorts of genre’s.
I give it 3.5 stars out of 4.
Try the 2007 edition. Steven King was the editor. Not only can he write, he can pick out stories.
Oh my don’t temp me with books I’d rather be reading than Evidence by Chuck Adams. Court cases are short by they don’t measure up to a great ten page science fiction. (my favorite short story genre).
Did you saw vampire??? LOL!
I think you really want to read Twilight. Admit it!
I used to read all of Stephen King’s books. I think IT was the scariest one I read.
