Hey, Tt, this was another case where Amazon managed to deliver this book to my door in one day. I have no idea how these things happen, considering I never pay extra for faster shipping, but man am I glad after opening this book.
I think the Zuma Man is going to like this one.
All the stories in this collection are really short, most between ten and fifteen pages, but if you want to see a master short story teller at work, pick this one up. It's a perfect example of how to write a really short story that packs the same punch as one that's thirty-pages long.
At only 185 pages, I'll be finishing this soon, but so far I can tell you that surreal is a good word to describe these stories-also very creepy. The very first story, All Fall Down, was really weird, and actually managed to give me a freaky dream last night.
If anyne has read Tim's books and wonders if his short stories are just as crazy, weird, creepy and strange as his novels, the answer is yes. If you liked a book like Like Death, you'll love these stories.
I'll be sure to post more when I finish it.
