"Dark Crossings: Volume 2" is a six story collection by co-authors David Wright and Sean Platt. This Kindle e-book was a 395 Kb download (approx. 227 printed pages) and was priced at $5.99 at the time of this review.Please Note: the authors provided me with individual copies of all the stories in this collection in exchange for honest reviews.The six short works are inside this book...1.) "Are We There Yet"2.) "If You Don't Finish Reading This, Everyone You Know Will Die"3.) "What Would Boricio Do?"4.) "Hide and Seek"5.) "The Good Deeds Society"6.) "Monsters"Some thoughts on this collection...1.) six well written short stories that have unusual endings.2.) all tale are very different but share that same near perfect sense of pace and timing when it comes down to the nitty-gritty.3.) in addition they all have that wonderful, easy readability that only the best of writers can produce.I enjoyed everything in this grouping but my personal favorite was "If You Don't Finish Reading This, Everyone You Know Will Die", followed closely by "Hide and Seek".The first is a story of a man suffering with a severe case of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Written by David Wright I believe... arguably his finest piece of writing to date.The second is every mother's worse nightmare... a titillating and occasionally erotic thriller that ratchets up the tension with every turn of the page.Easily 5 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com
