Reviews for Shedding Skin

[ptdilloway-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The title story "Shedding Skin" is really interesting and makes up about three-quarters of the book. It's about a guy whose wife has a baby at her Native American aunt's house. Five years later something strange happens.

The second story is much shorter and more abrupt. A guy's dying father tells him he keeps vampires in his dungeon. It was kind of an interesting idea of what you can do with your own pet vampire, something they could try on "True Blood" or something.
