“…unique perspectives and wonderful and horrible possibilities. Definitely take this one on vacation for reading around the campfire.” –Sandy Penny

 

“Terrific read. The horror pieces, while not usually my cup of tea, were clever and spooky. The science fiction stories, which were the reason I bought the anthology, were also clever and well-written.”- Steve M. Fye

 

“I missed Rod Sterling terribly, not anymore! I think he has been reborn in this author. Fabulous insight and intriguing ideas that keep you reading. I am usually annoyed with guessing the ending of stories about the time I am at the third paragraph.....I am definitely NOT annoyed. Surprising endings.”- Teri Anderson

 

“Short and sweet, with an ending I didn’t expect. I’ll be on the lookout for more from this author.” – Lia Cole

 

“Master of the surprise ending. Don’t quit reading until the end.”
