Review: Not your average superhero stories
Rating: 4 out of 5

This collection of short stories is not about superheroes. It is about people with powers. Most of the people can be described as hillbillies, rednecks, the working poor, or some other term that describes people who come from poor settings with little education. They don't go out and try to make the world a better place or save people. They simply use their powers to help with their own lives and desires, whether good or bad depends on their moods. It is easy to imagine this is what most real people would be like if they were given powers.For the most part, these stories were fun. A few of them seem as if the author was angry at the time he wrote them. This gives those stories a strange edge as if the author doesn't want the reader to like any of the characters in them. It makes it harder to enjoy those.I can see several of the stories included in this collection being expanded, either through additional short stories or even full-length novels.
