Review: Not the best short stories
Rating: 2 out of 5

I've read some fairly good short stories lately on my Kindle from the free selections, but the five in this collection didn't do a whole lot for me.  They aren't really horror, in my opinion, but they have a little suspense.  I think the best one is "Bringing it Up."  This story has a message to it, and the others really don't. They don't really have to have a moral message in horror, but it was nice to see how this character's life was carried out and the consequences that his past had on him when confronted with it.  What disappointed me most of all about these was the endings.  The writing isn't all that bad, although there are some errors left in, but the endings seemed to just fizzle out after several pages of the story.  The story, "You Remember" was okay, but very predictable. No surprise there.I've never read any of this author's novels, which might be a good thing to do, because I don't want to be stuck with a two-star opinion of him because I didn't like these five short stories.
