Review: not bad...probably more a 3.5 star book

In my mission to devour all things JR Rain and Samantha Moon I've been chipping away at the short stories after having finished the first four books that are out right now.I have to say that the main reason I got this was the Samantha Moon short story but I was a little disappointed by it.  Samantha meets an  old man in a Denny's one night and seemingly knows everything about her.  This does take place between Moon Dance and Vampire Moon so she has had a lot going on at that point but there really wasn't much to this story.  The usual 'it's ok, you're not a monster' type of piece...and I really wanted to know who the old man was..not a 'bad' story, just not one that added much to the character in my estimation.Book Burning was pretty entertaining..the characters (who are cleverly named J.R. and H.T) are an older and younger brother respectively.  JR writes horror stories and buys a copy of the Necronomicon for research and proceeds to scare the pants off of his little brother.The Silo was laugh out funny but ultimately rather....weird...failing crops, dreams of burning women, weird new neighbors that are always working on converting a silo for who knows what and a rather, ahem, 'playful' octogenarian...laugh out funny mostly but just an odd type of story..
