I just finished reading this and enjoyed it a great deal. The mood of the stories was well done and the twists were pitch perfect. I would have given this book 5 stars except for one error in the space/vampire story, where I had to go back and reread and found an obvious mistake. Easy to correct, I hope the author fixes it. Nevertheless, I think readers will enjoy these stories.

These are good little stories. I generally don't like short stories a lot because you can't really get into them before, suddenly, they're over. I only bought this book because I really liked the writing style of the author on another book I read. Ty Johnston didn't disappoint. I would really like to see some of these stories expanded into books.

"Sever" contains five short stories that deliver on the horror. Very effective for a quick read and chills down the spine.

Another reviewer mentioned an "obvious mistake" that he said was "easy to fix". I found the same mistake, but I couldn't figure out how to "fix" it. Towards the end of the story, there's a misplaced sentence from earlier in the book, then the action jumps forward and there's some critical information left out.

I could fill in the blank, I have a pretty good imagination. But the other review was about nine months ago, and the author hasn't done anything to fix it himself. The reader shouldn't have to do the work for him. So he gets docked a star.
