Review by Victim (311003) Rating (8/10) Review
by Victim This one, however, is different. The authors are all from a writing group in the Monterey area, and the stories are all based in that area. I know nothing about Monterey, (it's in the USA - California, I think) and based on some of the stories I would like to know more... but then again, based on some of others definitely not!
The stories are not confined to any particular genre; there is
a supernatural one in here, almost a horror, but mostly thrillers.
There is a lot that has gone into this collection. Again, I would
love to read some more by all of these people. The subjects may
not be exactly my cup of tea, but every one is a little gem! I
have checked on Amazon for this title but it is currently unavailable
in the UK, which is sad. However, it is available at Amazon.com
for our overseas visitors. I would really recommend this collection. |
