Matt Hults''Anything Can Be Dangerous'' is an interesting book. The first, essentially, half is made up of 4 unique stories. The rest of the book consists of 7 previews to not only Hults' Husk, 'but for 3 other author's works.Anything Can Be Dangerous is the title of the 1st story we come upon. Greg's life seems to finally be taking a turn to the positive when, suddenly, the things his mother always used to worry about started becoming reality. Yes, anything can be dangerous and you won't believe what is the source of the problem. 'I'n 'Feeding Frenzy, '2 friends looking into the possiblity of opening a fast food joint find themselves serving the most gruesome of customers and it doesn't seem like the place closes...for anything. The 3rd story, Through the Valley of Death, introduces us to a family who has an accident and must work their way through the woods to get to the nearby town before they freeze. Problem is the the natives of this land don't take kindly to people passing through. Finally we have The Finger, 'in which a two of the dregs of society attempt a get rich quick scheme that horrible backfires on them and many around them.Overall 'Anything Can Be Dangerous ''is made up of a good group of stories. I really enjoyed Feeding Frenzy, 'it was very humorous with a nice touch of the squeemies.  Through the Valley of Death 'was another favored tale, containing a nice bit of eeriness that kept me only toes as I read.The 7 previews:Matt Hults' - HuskGary Brandner's - The HowlingGary Brandner's - The Howling IIGary Brandner's - The Howling IIIJames Roy Daley's - Terror TownJames Roy Daley's - Into HellPaul Kane's - Pain CagesThe only couple of things I want to address in regards to the previews is a positive and a negative.The positive: each book that was previewed has been added to my list to read. Yep, each one grabbed my attention and I want to read more. The negative: 3 of the books were part of a trilogy and I was given a preview to all 3 parts, which means I was made aware of who from book 1 survived to make it to book 2. I didn't like that...I don't like knowing ahead of time who will survive.
