My favorites, all by authors I'd happily read more from:
"China Doll" by Ginger C. Mann - am I allowed to call a tale that includes tragic accidents and death charming? What about one with a kindly mysterious old man who fixes toys with magic, and helps a young girl to realize her own talents in that area? I think that's ok, right? So a charming little story, drew me right in.
"Child of the Underworld" by Marian Rosarum - If Nathaniel Hawthorne, Neil Gaiman and Edgar Allan Poe sat down to write a short story, this is the sort of thing they would come up with. Deliciously creepy and otherworldly and sad.
"Tombstone" by Scott E. Tarbet - hilarious ghost story about a cranky old farmer/murder victim who haunts his own property. Laugh-out-loud funny, especially if you happen to know any old farmers.
"The Death of Dr. Marcus Wells" by J. Aurel Guay - this is the one story in the collection that I wish had been expanded into a novella or even a full-length novel. Guay builds a world with a creepy Victorian vibe - think Drood-era Dickens - and then populates it with creepy viral monsters. The story is great fun, but there are enough unanswered questions that this reader, at least, hopes Guay will revisit this world and its stories in the future.… (meer)
