We are all afraid of something: heights, spiders, strangers, ourselves... I think for most people fear comes from experience, real life levels of aversion therapy. But some, some seem to be born afraid of their own shadow; it is as if there hasn't been a single safe place for them since they left th...
This was a really great novella from Norman Prentiss with a lot of heart and depth of character. Invisible Fences are meant to protect. For animals, they can keep them contained and safe from harm. For siblings, Nathan and Pam, they came in the form of life lessons from mom and dad. Sometimes, howev...
Celia's dad Jack died when she was four. This is his story. A story of his special gifts. It is a story of love, family, fantasy and horror. There may also be a community of hunchbacks, a homophobic soul saving succubus and a homunculus manikin. And smart camp. Don’t forget, fun times at smarty pan...
Odd Adventures With Your Other Father is a wonderful little book, with all kinds of emotional and narrative layering. Although it is structurally a bit dissimilar, it resonated in a similar way with me and reminded me of Stephen King's Hearts In Atlantis - this book is a series of short stories, a...
Apparently one of those books that Arkham House was supposed to release before they joined the choir eternal... Pretty good creep anthology with a lot of names I didn't know. Ugly cover and dj. There were a handful of really good disturbing stories and no real stinkers, which I hate in an antholog...
Four and a half stars.This is one of those stories that transcends genre. While there is plenty of suspense and a touch of the supernatural, this is more of a character study of a family. It is beautifully structured to involve the reader and its novella length is perfect. Chalk down Norman Prentiss...
The Fleshless Man is a creepy novella about monsters inside and outside--monsters in stories and dreams, in sickness, and in people we love, as well as those we should love but don't. Now these monsters aren't the sort that can crush you or tear you apart with sharp incisors. No, the monsters here a...
Anthologies are hard to review. Period. I got this one for the Kelley Armstrong short and it did not disappoint. Easily the best in the book. The shorts in this ranged from excellent, to "interesting," to umm....okay, to huh?, and "this is dumb, I'm not reading this one."
I have a feeling this might be a very short review, because it is a very short story. My ebook edition of this was only 66 pages, so it barely qualifies as a novella but is too long for a short story. Reading the synopsis I was fascinated by what this book had to offer. Then I was surprised that ...
