Audio version - read by Matt Godfrey - he did a damn fine job. I don't think I will be able to read another McDowell audio book unless Godfrey is reading it. Thanks to all the Booklikers who read this and posted it about it. Picked it up because of you all. This is so damn good. It's Southern...
T.E. Grau offers up an impressive collection of weird tales, bringing a fresh, new and compelling voice to the classic sub-genre. These stories will haunt you into the deep hours of the night...and they will have you thinking the rest of the time.T.E. Grau is an author to watch.Highly recommended.
It's always hard to rate anthologies, and this one was particularly uneven for me -- not just because I'm not really a horror fan (not all the stories are horror, by any means). The first story, "Tasting Gomoa" confused me. A barren women, sexually frustrated and now replaced by a new younger wife, ...
Despite sometimes quite lovely prose, this collection suffered from both of my pet peeves in a horror story collection: I was not scared, and there were no clear endings. I fully admit that my expectations for horror were rather remarkably high going in. The first time I saw this on a list of "sca...
This anthology is worth reading for Jim Butcher's Curses, Ellen Kushner's Duke of Riverside, Patricia Briggs' Fairy Gifts, and Melissa Marr's Guns for the Dead. Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy begins strong with a Dresden Files short story, but readers should be forewarned that many of the shor...
This short story collection is absolutely wonderful. Even stories I didn't necessarily like as much as other ones still stood out as good short stories. Here is a story by story review. You Go Where It Takes You: A story about a young single mother who has a terrifying chance at a new life. Some r...

A mixed bag of urban fantasy stories, not all of which are actually fantasy, and not all of which are really all that urban. A number are magical realism, and if I liked that genre better (or at all) I would have enjoyed this collection better. My favorite stories were Delia Sherman's "How the Poo...
Overall: 2.5 StarsI'm burnt out on vampires for the foreseeable future, but since I've made it my quest to read everything Catherynne Valente has ever written, I just read the stories of authors who I like/am interested in. Sadly, out of the stories I read, the only story worth reading was Valente'...
