I ran across Kyle Scott through friends and glad it happened.  A very impressive debut here by the writer.  What appeals to me with this work is the careful crafting of each story running through them without the reader seeing all the details and hard work of the writer.  Characters are introduced and immediately come to our attention in a loving kind of way (i.e., forget 2-dimensional!).  You are brought along their journey in a seamless fashion into where the story ends.  Writing seams are ironed out, the pacing is good, and the situations will stick in your memory.  This is after all what a writer is looking for in a published work.The intro story Special Delivery is a good start with all the threads combined to a lip-smacking conclusion.  Bon Appetit!Shopping is an unusual take on the mountain cannibal giving the protagonist a nice dose of humanity with a remininscent view reminding me of a certain Lovecraft story updated in our present time.Kentucky Fried is the crown prince of this collection melding the end of the world with a relationship of good times, going through the changes, and a deep sense of sadness.Television Eye was almost too far fetched for me to glom onto, but that could be so much on my end.Horror, violence & bloodshed is here and guided along with a genuine love for the character and that much is the reason why all readers of the horror short story should buy this volume and - see how it's done.
