What’s Your X-Factor?

An author I respect once gave this advice for how to write a great story: write about what you’re going through. That could be anything from an existential crisis, to a philosophical question, to dealing with strong emotions that are hard to come to terms with. This question, or issue, should serve as the backbone

I have been a fan of Siciliano's writing since her first novel. She's always been so good at writing unsettling stories, the kind of horror that is a bit more civilized, so I was pretty excited to see what a full anthology would deliver. There's nine ...more

This was a DNF read for me. The premise of the story was intriguing enough to get me to pick this book up, and the opening few pages was getting me ready for a good thriller, but then the writing style fell apart for me. I saw snippets of that same, ...more
