Review: Definitely STRANGE!

"Strange Tales of the Curiously Uncommon" by Andrew Biss is aptly named. These are indeed strange tales. Not so sure about "curiously uncommon" but certainly not common. Five tales in the book is just the right amount. Any more would have been more than I could take, any fewer and I might have felt cheated. As with any collection of shorts, some were a lot better than others, but all were strange. You can read the summary above for details about each tale, then decide if you want to forge ahead. Or bottle a head. Sorry, I couldn't help myself there.This book isn't going to suit everybody; that's obvious by just looking at the various reviews. Frankly, I'm still not sure how I feel about the book! I gave it 3 stars because "it's okay" about sums it up for me, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to find more tales like these. If you love 'em, more power to ya! But I think I'll go back to reading about ghosts, bigfoot, werewolves, and other things a bit more believable. I'm not going to recommend for or against this one... you're on your own!
