Review: Some excellent, engaging short stories

If you are a fan of Nathan L. Flamank, you may enjoy *When Cows Have Wings & Other Short Stories*. The book consists of 9 short stories, an interview with Flamank, and a teaser from an upcoming erotic thriller, *Hummingbird*.Five of the nine short stories were written as creative writing assignments when Flamank was at university. They are good for assignments, but not what I want to read for entertainment. They seemed to serve as filler. Had the assignments been left out, I would give the book a higher rating because the four short stories that were NOT university assignments are very good reads.The short stories that I recommend you read (and skip the others) are:- "Gift Wrapped" (a Seth & Amber story)- "A Lesson in 'Bad Motherf*ckery'"- "Unwrapped" (a Seth & Amber story)- "Bath Time Fun" (a Seth & Amber story)Flamank's characters have such authentic voice that he is able to pull the reader immediately into the middle of the action. These stories are for adults. The Seth & Amber stories are erotic romance, and "A Lesson..." is a gripping suspense story with some graphic violence.
