After readingLooking Backby this author, I was keen to read some more of his work. The two stories in this collection are even more proof, in my opinion, that this author is one to watch. I really enjoyed the stories.The first one, The Hitcher, begins quite innocently but the author seems to be deliberately leading the reader towards a horrifying conclusion. He is playing with the reader's mind, making the reader think the unthinkable. I have to say, even though the subject matter may be dark, this story left me with a smile on my face because I loved the way the author had totally controlled the story throughout and the ending was perfect.The second story, Orange Sky, was just as captivating as the first one. What would you do if it was your last day on earth? the author seems to be asking with this story. We follow a couple who know exactly what they want to do on their last day. It's a thought-provoking tale.I'm hoping that there will be more books soon from this talented author.
