Reviews for Fantastic Shorts
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A wonderful assortment of short stories that should appeal to most any audience. Mostly in the realm of sci-fi or fantasy but enough realism to make it work in any genre. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection and look forward to more of this author’s work.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was initially drawn to this collection of short stories because the author mentioned it was similar to The Twilight Zone series. In the end, he was right. There is a certain amount of creepiness and discomfort that leeks from these stories and gives me a vibe not unlike that of the TV series. All that was missing was the unmistakeable voice of Rod Serling. However, it differed in the way that all authors come with their own style. There were stories I liked more than others naturally, though I am sure it is only because of my particular interests. Overall, give it a try. It's good to read a fresh voice in the literary world.
