do yourself a favor and do not read. it’s just a cop-out of a bunch of short stories with a thinly veiled plot threading them together. the writing is vivid, but the stories are not horrific or interesting.

This was my first read from Skipp and Spector, and it certainly won't be my last. It's a unique book in that there are stories within the story, but I don't want to give too much away. It's certainly a memorable piece, with strong characters, dialogue and story setup. I loved the setting of New York City-- I've never been, but have always been fascinated with stories (in books and on film) set in that locale. I definitely want to work my way through all of the author collaborations from these two as well as their individual catalogs after reading Dead Lines.
