Flashy Fiction 2 is a collection of stories by two authors that challenged each other to write about a topic and put a deadline on the story of 48 hours. Normally, you wouldn't think something written in day days for each story could be of quality, but in this case, the challenge brought the best out in both of them and what you are left with is a masterpiece of mystical and mystery, spooky and supernatural, and the wild and the weird.By far, my favorite has to be the duel of the teddy bears. Sean's steampunk tale had me begging for more, while Jen's ghost tale sent chills down my spine. Both of these could be expanded to a full book and be an instant hit.The stories have the flavor of "Tales of the Crypt" with the right mixture of creativity you come to expect from both these authors.I won't go into details on the other tales, simply because I want to wet the appetite, without giving too much away. If you like stories that are imaginative and not your typical "werewolf and vampire" boredom, look no further.The only thing you won't like is when you end the book, you will want more, but you will have to wait.
