Review: Mind over matter

As with most of Scribner's work, this collection of short stories is well-written, and the stories included are The Chair, Emotional Transference, and The Dichotic. For me, none of the stories have a dark feeling to them, nor do they have a hard jab to the ending. Instead, each story presents an interesting take on how the mind works, consciously and subconsciously, leaving the reader thinking about how exactly mental energy is expended, collected or exchanged, and how mood and thought are influenced by the power of suggestion and other outside stimuli.It's interesting what Scribner came up with here. Not horror, these stories are more just some odd or strange situations to think about. At 271 kindle locations, this is around a 30 minute read, pretty quick and easy, nothing too complicated but a fairly enjoyable short-fiction read.
