Dreadtime Stories

Rating:
Summary: Terrific short, sharp shockers
Review: What originally got me interested in this book was the claim that the stories were a modern take on the "Tales of the Unexpected" and "Twlight Zone" genre, which appealed as I'm not a fan of the heavy fantasy/gorefest-type. I thought the stories here were great - well-written, good plots/storylines, and with a neat little jolt at the end of each one. What I particularly enjoyed was the tight, concise style as I hate the self-indulgent ramblings of some authors who take a hundred page to tell you nothing. This author's got the mix just right for me. I took the book on vacation with me and it was just a perfect little read to dip in/out when I was on the plane and by the pool. According to the blurb on the cover, the author plans to bring out more in this series - I'll certainly buy his work again.
