You get a good variety of Horror (and a little Sci Fi) in this collection of five stories which include Vampires, Aliens, strange powers, and revenge plots. Some are quite seriously written, while others are a bit more tongue in cheek.I always enjoy a dark revenge story and my favourite was one of those - "Cold Comforts" - it's one of those stories which leaves much to the imagination, and only hints at the painful (but deserved) ending. This makes for a sinister read which really works in this case.Originality goes to "Codename: Omega" - a complex story full of espionage and double crosses, but also a generous helping of blood and guts to keep everyone happy. All the stories are -1) The Reluctant Death (8/10) When a landowners daughter survives a near death experience the workers believe that there is magic involved.2) Codename: Omega (9/10) An undercover agent with unusual powers is sent on one final mission into Nazi Germany.3) Room Service (8/10) A man puts his neck on the line when his lap dancing girlfriend goes missing.4) Cold Comforts (10/10) A wife is dead certain that her husband is cheating on her, and is prepared to kill to prove it.5) Nazareth (7/10) Two bickering aliens debate giving mankind a helping hand.This is an enjoyable collection which has something for everyone.
