Weird being back in the Happy Policeman zone, for just five or six pages.

‘Dear Froggy’ and ‘The Last Flight from Llano’ - back to back - were my favourite experience delving into this collection, thus far. ‘Dear Froggy’ reminded me both of Lindsay’s The Haunted Woman, and even Nazareth Hill by Ramsey Campbell - plus I tend to enjoy stories that make it to 30-40 pages - so it’s no surprise that it was a highlight for me.

Oops. I said last time that I was in for one of her slightly longer stories, but actually, ‘Blue Woofers’ - which I just read - still wasn’t very long, and it’s the next one that stretches itself a bit…’The Secret Language of Old White Ladies’. Title is long, too…and strange…

‘The Shoot’ was a fascinating story. I’m beyond trying to figure out everything Anthony is up to, in each 10 or 12 page expedition, but overall, these tales are interesting reading. Just very sad, a lot of the time. I think the next story is one of the longer ones - let’s see what happens when she adds 15 or 20 pages…

If a story in here is not Science Fiction, then it’s Horror, or Horror mixed with SF. So…good book for the season, bad for happy feels.
