If you're bored with the usual horror fare, I'd suggest taking the time to explore Schaffer's work. He has a nice clean style and gets right to the point: scaring you enough to keep you awake long after you've finished the tale.This is intelligent, thought provoking reading.Out of all five stories, I found "Cold Comforts", to be particularly unsettling.And if you enjoy a good 'What If', his "Nazareth" is a bold sci-fi story with an interesting twist.It's been said that people don't read short story collections too much because, well, what if only half the stories are really good? No worries about that here- Schaffer doesn't just push the envelope, he tears it to pieces!
