If you're a lover of the short and/or Joseph Flynn, this collection shouldn't disappoint. My first impression coming from the cover art, was that this might contain stories of vampires (I'm a fan), so I think it's important to note that while there is a spattering of "pointy teeth", there isn't a vampire to be seen in this book (I didn't miss them). A few of my favorites:Smoked Out- A story about two men who try to out-do(nate) each other when it comes to the local library.Fixer-Upper- Two greedy ghosts have the tables turned on them when a surprise guest shows up, moves in and makes a few renovations.High Heat- A young, washed-up Major League pitcher hits rock-bottom because he can't hit anything else. On the eve of his final game, can he resuscitate his dead career and make his last pitch count?Speed Trap- There's a new Sheriff in town, hired to clean-up the riff-raff, and he's got ways of making you walk.alsoSleepover- Two privileged kids with different outlooks on life, are thrown together one night during a snowstorm and learn a thing or two about themselves.I also like that it has a Table of Contents, a big plus for me. There were a handful of minor editing glitches (for the sticklers' consideration), but they didn't affect the flow for me. All in all, it was an enjoyable book and an easy read. Plus, a steal at this price! I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.
