The Awakening & Other Stories is a collection of paranormal stories with a twist of a think about it point that's embedded in each story.I'm not sure which one is my favorite.  I'm torn between Ghost Story and End of the Line.  My heart tore for Aaron, especially in the end.  Meade really brings to light some hard core life issues in this great collection.The flow, plot, characters, and pure imagination and meaning in each story is fantastic.  Even though each story is short, we get a glimpse and feel for each character, their personality, small bits of backstory, and what they've faced to bring them to the present state of mind in which they're in.The downside, I wanted more.  Don't get me wrong, I loved each story, and like I said each story was presented and flowed very well and wrapped around the point and conclusion.  Me, just being the curious being that I am, wanted to know more, especially in Old Vampire.  That one left me with my mouth hanging open and screaming with frustration.  I mean, I got the meaning of the story but that didn't mean I didn't want to know more about what happens to Hailey.  The last line was killer.Overall, The Awakening & Other Stories is a perfect, read in one sitting, fix my paranormal craving edge, think about it read that I would recommend to my friends.
