A former newspaper journalist, Ty Johnston was born and raised in central Kentucky. Now living in North Carolina and focused upon fiction writing, mainly fantasy, he spends his time writing, reading and recalling memories of his late wife.
These are nice little stories. I generally don't like short stories a lot because you can't really get into them before, suddenly, they're over. I only bought this book because I really like the writing style of the author on another book I read. This author didn't disappoint. I would really like to see some of these stories expanded into books.
Five quick short stories that will leave you a little unsettled. Not just your typical horror collection. I have enjoyed reading the three books (Sever,Slice, and Stab). A lot of the stories take a direction that I never expected and it was refreshing. Really fast read and my only negative thought is that they were not longer. :)
While the writing is well done, the stories themselves are too far fetched to be terrifying. A little more realism would have made the horror factor much higher.
