Frank’s Reviews > My Favorite Story Podcast Author Anthology > Status Update

Chuck Buda's dark western reinforced my distaste for westerns. My interest was held by the saving grace of demon adversaries.

Dandelion Yellow felt somewhat disjointed. Like it was YA and then not YA.

Keene's offering was experimental, emotional and a bit askew of his typical genre work. There is a touch of a lesson to be learned for writers as well. A strong piece in the anthology.

I knew Tom Clark could write but M.EN.TOR displayed a range and ability I didnt expect. Strong story in this strong collection.

Christopher Golden is a clown. I'm sure of it. You can't wrote a clown story like that and not be a clown. You can't.

Armand Rosamilia's "Rainforest of Bones" read like it was written around his time collaborating with Jay Wilburn when in fact it was written well before they collaborated. It makes me appreciate Rosamilia's early departures from zombie fiction all the more. I've always said he should be playing in straight horror.

Mary SanGiovani's KINS was an excellent snap shot of someone going mad in a unique way.

The most frightening part of Amber Fallon's story is the protagonist didn't wipe NOR wash their hands! The horror!!!

Jaime Engel's story isn't really my speed. It's a western good vs evil supernatural thing that I think needs to be a much longer story to be truly effective.

Jay Wilbun tells the tale of monster-in-laws. Laws yes.
