4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent collection of fantasy and horror short stories.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Transients and Other Disquieting Stories (Paperback)
An excellent collection of fantasy and horror short stories from an under-appreciated author. My only qualm about the book is that several of the stories hit the same note -- not enough differences in all of them -- but overall it's an excellent collection. Recommended.

Chills and Melancholia,
By
This review is from: Transients and Other Disquieting Stories (Paperback)
Aside from being "disquieting," these 15 tightly-written horror stories are tinged with a bittersweet melancholy that can only come from a writer who has written a lot, read a lot, and lived a lot. A good example of this is "Clocks," which concerns a widower being visited by the spirit of his dead wife. He can't stop himself from resurrecting her spirit at the same time every year, making us wonder if we would do the same thing. It would be psychologically unhealthy to keep bringing back your loved one, but who would refrain from doing so? But don't worry; TRANSIENTS has the expected and enjoyable chills. Be prepared to drown in "Pennies from Hell" and to see new faces (you'll understand what I mean) in "Peeling It Off."
