      A janitor is offered a curious change of job in one short story, but people keep dying. In another, a child practices his godlike powers to evil effect. And then there are the cockroaches at the end of the universe; actually, they’re a bonus at the end of the book, and you really shouldn’t miss them if they’re in your copy. David Fingerman’s short stories are consistently unsettling and well-told, with stings in tail and claw, and lengths that vary from a novel’s intensity to a single scene’s poignant shock.Hunt evil on a perfect day, keep away from Hell Mouth, and watch out for the Devil on Vacation. But take this collection on vacation with you and you’ll have plenty of reading to keep you awake at night.Disclosure: I found a free ecopy and I enjoyed it.
