CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

RABCK Release to Kizmiaz in Portugal today. Spotted it on his wishlist. Please register on receipt and please pass on.

Enjoy and greetings from sunny South Africa

Just got it, thanks a lot mrbaggins1 for this generous rabck.
Loved all the treats you enclosed and have just the kid to read Kwenza from Kwazulu.

Ok, I finally got around to read this book, have no idea why it took me so long.
This is a very good short story collection.
Although I prefer Joe Hill's novels this was quite a satisfying read. Joe manages to stick a short story in the "Acknowledgements" section but unfortunately the publisher failed to deliver a table of contents.
This is one author to watch for, he writes in a way that grabs the reader even when the story is not so great, not that you'll find a lot of that here, most of the stories are good and some are great.
Only a few of the short stories fall under the Horror category, the others have all sorts of moods and characters, bound to make even the most "short story resistant reader" curious and, most likely, pleased by the surprises within this collection.
There is also a great novella that closes this volume with a golden touch.
My favorites were:
- Last Breath
- The Black Phone
- Abraham's Boys
- 20th Century Ghost
- Best New Horror
- Voluntary Committal (the novella)

Onward it goes to the North of Europe.

Thank you very much for my wishlist book, kizmiaz! I can't wait to devour it.
