Review: Brilliant and at times terrifying collection!

Sinister-Tales of Dread is quite an apt title for this collection. While Mosiman tends to write primarily in the horror and suspense genres, I believe she could write in any genre (or lack thereof) she wanted to. This is a collection worth reading and then, after a day or two, rereading. Lots of subtle stuff going on in these stories. The opening story "Sinister" packs such an intense punch it's worth it just for that story alone, but to then go right into "Transformed: The Kindness of Strangers" is, in my opinion, mind-boggling. If you've interest in dark fiction, horror or suspense, or simply interest in the art of the short story, get yourself a copy of this one. Mosiman never disappoints, and she's totally on her game with this one.
