The methods are slowly methodical. J. Carson Black' s writing jars the senses as it propells one forward.This set of books has seven suspenseful, articulate, engaging and engrossing novels. Each deserves a separate review. This set is an authentic bargain. The stories are a bit older but definitely not boring.The authors included in this collection are, J. Carson Black,  Melissa F. Miller,  MA Conley,  Carol Davis Luce,  Michael Wallace,  Brett Battles, and Robert Gregory Browne. Check this out. Excellent.
