Review: Includes a great sci-fi story...

This anthology is a collection of three short stories by Suzanne Robb. The first story, The Moonlight Killer, was a about man who becomes a werewolf and decides to hunt a serial killer. It had a very original twist to the traditional werewolf mythos, and I would have liked to read more about the nature of the curse. The second story, B.I.T.E., had more than one POV describing an apocalypse prophecy coming true; it was too over the top for me. Welcome To The Future, the last story, was the best of the three, and was a great sci-fi story about a society that augments people in effort to better them, but as the narrator explained, every trial has an error.I was very conflicted about how many stars to give this book. Welcome To The Future was definitely a five star story, and one that every sci-fi fan should read. I would love to see a movie made based on this tale. Unfortunately, I didn't feel as strongly about the first story, and I disliked B.I.T.E altogether. I just felt that Robb could have done more with The Moonlight Killer; the characters were not nearly as impressive as the twist...and B.I.T.E. was not the quality writing that I've come to expect from Robb - it wasn't any particular part of the story...I just struggled to stay interested, despite all the action.If for no other reason than to read Welcome To The Future, I encourage others to add this to their Kindle collections.P.S. The version that I read does not appear to be the same version described on the product page, so I'm not sure if I have a different edition or not.If you haven't already, I recommend readingZ-Boatby Robb.
