Review: Another Nice Compilation from Scribner
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 28, 2011
I have read a lot of Joshua Scribner's short stories, and have enjoyed many of them. In previous reviews, I have said he must have a sick and twisted mind which for a horror writer is a good thing as it keeps your content fresh. Morbid-sounding, I agree; if you think about it for a while, you will find it is the right context. In my opinion, he has a lot of Stephen King in his writing of short stories.This is a nice compilation to read during your lunch break at work (which is what I did), and the three stories take about 10 minutes total to read. They are not horror stories per se, but they do have some of the elements as well as shadings of Stephen King. What I like about Scribner's stories is he doesn't waste any time and gets you involved fast in the underlying story - he gets to the point, tells the tale, and brings home the conclusion. As I type this review, the Kindle version is being offered for free - grab it now before it has a price on it.  I'm looking forward to reading more from Scribner.
