This book is an excellent collection of short stories with a sinister bent. Unfortunately, some are not up to par with the rest but most are well worth your time. The story about disfigured Air Force cadets with a hatred for truckers is worth the price of the book alone as is the story "Mother Tucker".

"Stalkers" is a great collection of short stories with a very sinister streak. While some tales are not as good as others, the book overall is definitely worth reading time. In fact, the story about disfigured Air Force cadets who hate truckers and the tale, "Mother Tucker", are worth the price of the book alone.

I actually got this book a really long time ago, (in the early '90s). I've read most of the stories, though not all. I think I haven't read all of them simply because I love a couple of them so much that every time I pick it up, I re-read them, then am disturbed enough to put down the book to mull over it.

Personally, my favorite is "Children of Cain".

This book receives the official designation of "Pleasant Literary Surprise of 2005". All of the stories within inverted the "stalk 'em/slash 'em/stash 'em/drop 'em in Jersey" cliches quite pleasantly. Well done!
