I have read two other short stories by this author but this was quite different..The writing is excellent as always, but this wasn't really a horror/thriller..I was very engrossed in the story reading words and scenes to my husband, because there were hysterically funny...It's adult science fiction, not much blood or gore....The underlying theme is our strange fascination with death and different cultural beliefs...It's a coming of age story of 15 yr old Ben, and you follow his very interesting journey through life, to his hospital bed at age 90...He thinks he has finally escaped, the green magic, stone with one marking left on it from the meteorite shower, and will die in peace....Little boys should never play with the dead things....What comes around goes around..I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future....
