Too Many Coincidences by Paul Eiden
I liked this one, although it was predictable. If reminded me of a Nora Roberts book, i think it was The Obsession or Blue Smoke or something that I really liked. This is definitely a common plot nowadays. I wonder if it was an original when Eiden wrote it. Not too bad of a one to end on.

Four O'Clock by Price Day
I think this is the most original and off the wall story in the whole book. It would be cool to write my own version of this story. It was well-paced and even though we knew the outcome given the reach and the parrot it was still good. A solid idea.

I thought the Duel would end up more like The Shining. And it did a bit. I thought the setting of a large, isolated place would cause one of them to go insane and harm the other, but this one had a bit of a twist.

The Duel by Joan Vatsek
I've preferred the stories written by women in this collection. I liked this one. The description of the landscape and bedroom was great. So easy to follow as I read and pictured. I like the scary stories that end up showing us that people can be the real monsters. I can't believe Janine was dumb and believed Roderick loved her, what a dingus. If I were Laurence I would've been terrified.

Terrified by C.B. Gilford
The title caught me and made me excited to read this one. With a name like that I thought it would be a little more bloodied. It was a car crash and two kids trying to play God. I loved the scary practical Ness and indifference of the kids. I thought this was a good one, probably my fourth favorite, I think. The writing felt real, simple.

New Murders for Old by Carter Dickson
This one was ehh. Whenever there is a narrator telling the story with breaks in between the telling because he's talking to another person as well, I always imagine there being a split screen. The story being told on half with a blurred line and the narrator and his companion sitting round a fire and talking. It makes it a bit comical. It needed more atmosphere, more draw detail
