Curiosity got the better of me so I bumped this one up on my reading list as it was the first request I had received from the actual author themselves and have to say I was pleasantly surprised! I sampled "Salazar's Flamenco Dancer", "Old Billy" and "Midnight Guests" (of the same book title) and I found that they were all equally entertaining. These short stories have a similar creepy feel to them as do "The Shunned House" and "A Haunted Island" by Lovecraft and Blackwood respectively, the main difference I found being that the setting in stories by Amy Michelle Mosier appear to be predominantly in the Southwest (a plus in my books). Well done and definitely an enjoyable read!
