badseedgirl's review against another edition
3.0
I read this for the Joe Ledger short story, which ended being one I had read before anyways. I enjoyed the eclectic mix of genres and tones in all these stories.
innae's review against another edition
There is no introduction in the Blackstone Audio version
Mad Science by Jonathon Maberry - the reason I borrowed this audio book from the library, gotta catch up on my Joe Ledger books. This was a great addition to the saga, and showed a bit darker side to Joe, and had Violin, who is a great character!
The Gateway by Solomon Jones - a take on religion, in particular the TV evangelists - are they really on God's side?
Shuffle by Kelly Simmons - Happy in his marriage, and yet .. intrigued by a possible soul mate - not quite an infidelity story
She Looks Just Like her Mother by Edward Pettit - starts out a bit weird, and then just gets creepy.
Choosing Teams by Don Lafferty - a little confusing, but a story of infidelity, and a realization of what you have
What I Did by Marie Lamba - I had to relisten to this one to get a brief - and I am 10 minutes in and I still don't quite recall what happens in it. So, not one that leaves an impression.
Bliss by Merry Jones - interesting premise, I enjoyed this one quite a lot, though I think Claire didn't know what she was getting herself into at the end.
Under the King's Bridge Keith R. A. DeCandido - this one had some of the same feel (though not as humourous) as Sigler's Hunter Hunterson and Sons stories (if you liked this story, I rec hunting down Sigler's short stories - I like the Haunted Safeway story)
Doe Run Road by Dennis Tafoya - meh, I didn't like this one
What Lies Between by Keith Strunk - a bit of supernatural, a bit of time travel, they likely could make a pretty decent movie off this story. I enjoyed it, but felt like it needed a bit more fleshing out
For Love by William Lashner - this had some "You" (from Netflix) vibes
The Return Trip by Jon McGoran - I really liked the premise, and can appreciate where the story went, but not sure it is a favorite.
So Coldly Sweet, So Deadly Fair by Gregory Frost - a look at Abraham Van Helsing's first introduction to the world of the Vampire. I liked this - was even told in letters, so it was a nice call back to Dracula.
The Truth-Telling by Stephen Susco - disturbing. I would really like to see this one as a short movie. The language the author uses is just beautiful (well, what he is discussing is not beautiful, but the way he discusses and describes? beautiful).
Two Guns in Liar's Canyon by Chuck Wendig. A nice western entry to the collection.
