Editorial Reviews

Review

"His first fiction in years proves that this superb writer never lost his touch." -- Anders Monsen, Prometheus

"Nasty is one word I would not use to describe this collection of nine stories. Highly Recommended!" -- Manx Fiction


Product Description

J. Neil Schulman is known for his Prometheus-award-winning novels Alongside Night and The Rainbow Cadenza. He’s known for his Twilight Zone episode, "Profile in Silver." He’s known for his non-fiction books Stopping Power, Self Control Not Gun Control, and The Frame of the Century?

But until now only those lucky readers who have run across one of this short stories in the occasional magazine or anthology have had a chance to know J. Neil Schulman as a writer of short fiction.

Nasty, Brutish and Short Stories collects seven of J. Neil Schulman’s published short stories for the first time, and adds to them two never-before-seen stories, including the first story he ever wrote.

The collection includes…

 "The Repossessed"—the lead story in Carol Serling’s anthology, Adventures in the Twilight Zone — the story of a psychology professor whose dreams make him a repeated eyewitness to murder!

 "The Musician," in which a reclusive violinist has to decide whether he’s a pawn in an elaborate conspiracy…or just going crazy!

 "Day of Atonement," in which a terrorist conducts a solo operation in Jerusalem to save the Jews from their oppression by ... the Hebrews!

 "When Freeman Shall Stand." where the last verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner" is sung with new meaning!

And five more stories!

For fans of J. Neil Schulman's award-winning novels, and his Twilight Zone episode "Profile in Silver," this is a collection not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brooding not brutish ..., December 25, 2003
By John Dechancie "Vegas Lizard" (Littlerock, California USA) - See all my reviews
A tasty smorgasbord of fictional delights:

"Benny Rich is Dead" has an especially ironic twist.

"When Freemen Shall Stand" is a bold political statement.

"Day of Atonement" is an unexpected off-center view of Judaism.

"The Second Remove" is a Salingeresque look at a troubled teenager.

All in all, a fair sampling of Schulman's talents in the short story form.
