This is a collection of nine short stories by nine different authors so you will certainly find something to your taste, even if you don't like all of them. There are stories that are part of an ongoing story by the author as well as completely standalone stories. Some are chilling, some are written as tongue in cheek (or at least that's how they read to me!) and some are just plain disturbing. I won't say which is which but needless to say, I did enjoy reading this collection and will be adding it to my collection from The Indie Eclective.
This collection of mostly bad short stories that just stop when the requisite word count is reached (or so it seems) has at least one redeeming tale. I enjoyed "Sunwalker's Kiss" enough to be on the lookout for more from its author Shea McLeod. In fact I may just get the novels in the Sunwalker's saga. I must also confess that I enjoyed the story that followed immediately after, "Magickal Vendetta." That makes Heather Adkins' THE TEMPLE another possible to-be- read. The obvious purpose of this collection is to tantalize the reader into buying longer works by the contributors. The final score -- two tantalized, the other seven were crap.
It's really hard to just read excerpts from novels. Short stories are a unique type of writing. These excerpts are hard to appreciate as you have no way of knowing the characters.
