ASININE ASSASSINS (The Smart Rhino 'Assassins' Series) Tekijä: Weldon Burge
I like short stories so it was an easy decision to read this collection. I didn't find any real outstanding or earth shattering tales in this volume, just some decent writing. A couple made me chuckle and a couple made me roll my eyes. I didn't skip any as I have been known to do if I'm put off by the writing. All in all, this was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
This collection contains 20 stories, and I very much enjoyed 12 of them. All of them referenced some kind of body surgery, decoration or modification.
These were the stories that stood out for me:
Bootstrap-The Binds of Lasolastica by Michael Bailey. 4*
This made me think of rebooting differently.
Idol by Michael Laimo. 4* It would be nice to have some spare body parts around in case I needed them.
Comfort by Charles Colycott. All my notes say is "freaky"!
Unplugged by Adrienne Jones. 4* A leave of absence from work leads to a strange discovery.
You With Me by Christopher Nadeau. 4* This one reminded me of an old Stephen King collection cover from the 80's.
The Shaping by Scott Nicholson. 5* This one kicks ass! Competition in school can be tough.
By Hook by Elliot Capon. 5* My note just says AWESOME!
Sawbones by L.L. Soares. 5* Body modifications never thought of!
Whirling Machine Man by Aaron French. 4* Crazy!
Sex Object by Graham Masterton. 4* Anyone who has read any Graham Masterton would not be shocked by this story.
Hearing Mildred by Weldon Burge. 5*. This was my favorite story of this collection. An odd tale of what must be the worst haunting EVER. Plus, it's hilarious!
I am going to check out other works by some of these authors, most especially Mr. Burge.… (lisätietoja)

Very good anthology. Some stories were downright creepy. There were a few duds, but that's anthologies. I never read any of the stories, so they were new to me.
I liked the first anthology much better. This one seemed like a poor matching of the subject matter. The first anthology was creepier also. There were three stories that were truly creepy to me. But the book held my attention.
