The Miniature Wife and Other Stories by Manuel Gonzales
4.0
For anyone like me who is terrified of zombies, there are two zombie short stories in this collection! One is fine and not scary, but "Escape From the Mall" is awful if you don't like zombies. It's a great story, though. But there, I warned you.
The stories in this collection are full of mystical creatures, monsters, fantastic happenings, and brutal battles (literal and figurative). Gonzales uses detail to great effect (I'm still thinking about the way he described those zombies in "Escape From the Mall"... *shudder*). His characters are deeply flawed, ordinary people in bizarre situations. It's fascinating to see how they react, how they grow, how they break under pressure.
