Jason T. Graves is an author, editor, and illustrator, who relishes everything about books. He holds an advanced degree in genetic mysteries and has an extensive history of writing, drawing, mad science, and teaching—both high school and college. With a penchant for dark beers, black coffee, and dry, red wines, you can find him, most days, spinning stories of similar color and complexity.
A collection by its very nature will have some stories that connect more with you than others. The great part about Off the Beaten Path is that in 8 tales, the RANGE explored is impressive and definitely one of the reasons I love a good collection. These Tales of the Paranormal have stories that are more atmospheric, others that are gorier, some that touch on western flair while others have a distinctive southern feel to them and until you read stories with both, you won't get how much of a difference there is. If you want something spooky to spice up your TBR, definitely recommend this one.
