Review: Twisted

Each tale gives you a taste of a magic world just around the corner.The poetic images are dark, twisted, sometimes humorous: trees, sorcerors, spies, poker, dangerous women, and flashdrives.But there's almost always a guide and a choice.Sandmen brought back images from Gaiman.A few reminded me of Philip K. Dick with layered identities and supernatural conspiracies.The cursed man and the vampire reminded me of Williamson's "Darker than you Think."A man attending his own funeral could have been from the movie "The Order."The tale of the faerie queen felt like vintage Harlan Ellison.My only complaint was that each time I got hooked on the new world, it ended.
