If you love Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe then this is a read for you. Some of it is not my cup of tea, but the writing and story telling are solid and most, even for me, enjoyable. The writing alone deserves 5* and so this review is coming from an objective place. Bernard weaves short stories, vignettes, into tales with surprising endings, takes scenes into places most wouldn't mention in public, and pulls the reader in with realistic contemporary dialogue. When I read the first couple of pages I wanted to put it down and stop, not because of the story telling but for my own personal reasons (no spoiler here) but the writing held me and I continued, to satisfaction that overall, I recommend this for many reasons; again the writing is solid, the author is a really good story teller, there are multiple stories to enjoy, and I understand that all the profits are going to help animal preservation. Kudos to Bernard for all of that.
