Review: I read it TWICE in one week!

I bought this book because I read a flash fiction piece by Milo at another website and his voice intrigued me, making me want to read more of his stories.  Unseen Things did NOT disappoint.I read this book twice, trying to figure out what made me love these stories, some of which I would not normally read.  Tonight I arrived at the answer:  I never felt like the writer was in the room with me.  From the first paragraph of each of these stories, it was just me and the story, no writer, no outside world.  Milo has the unique ability to turn his stories over to their individual narrators and remain quiet while the events unfold.  I think most writers strive for that type of invisibility, but few ever achieve it.I blinked at the end of each story, as if the lights had turned on in a movie theater.  Whoa, you mean it's over? That's how I felt.My favorite story, the one I'll never forget is You Kill Me.  I'm a sissy when it comes to books, shying away from any that I think will scare me.  I never would have read You Kill Me if I'd known where Milo was going with it.  I'm very glad I didn't know.  It's an excellent story, well-written and well-told from beginning to end.  I highly recommend it, and all the stories in this anthology.
