Review: A nice read...

Here you get four quite odd stories, which manage to be both comforting and slightly sinister at the same time. The theme of ghosts, or other influences runs throughout, and there is no blood or guts to worry about. Each story is well written and the characters are believable. My favourite "Catching Lisette" has a clever storyline, which comes full circle in a nice ghost(ish) way. Also liked "Photo Finish" where strange coincidences begin to mount up, and we are kept guessing as to which direction the story is going to take. The other two stories had good ideas (especially "souvenir") but I'm not sure the full potential was realised. All the stories are -Souvenir - a compulsive shoplifter questions her own identity, after a theft which doesn't go as normal.Little Sister - a women concentrates on leaving her past, as well as her present, behind.Catching Lisette - a boy is flattened when an angelic vision drops by.Photo Finish - a woman notices a worrying pattern, in her family snap shots.It's a fairly quick read (an hour approx), which can be enjoyed day or night. Unlike some other collections which are definitely night time only.
