If you love horror fiction, and if you love short stories, this one is a must have for you. I had the pleasure of purchasing and reading this collection recently and have to say that it was quite enjoyable. Some of my favorites were the stories "The Box", "Consumed", and "The Shape of Things to Come" although I honestly enjoyed every story in the book. These stories really make you think. Its not your typical "Hack and Slash" type of horror. Yes, some of the topics written within here are "horrorible" some even "gory", but at the same time the writing...the way he describes it all is quite beautiful. This guy can flat out write. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. ( )
