​Revenge, Betrayal, Deception - OH MY!,

This review is from: CROOKED TALES: Deception & Revenge in 15 Short Stories (Short Story Tales Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
As a fan of anthologies and short stories, I praise this collection for the variety of genres, writing styles, and voices. With 15 different authors, readers get a big choice - from surreal to creepy to funny. While not every story appealed to me, I enjoyed most, especially those that left me with a visceral sense of satisfaction or the promise of redemption.
I recommend "Red Queen Check" by Elizabeth Horton - Newton - a low-life manipulator gets what's coming to him; "Mark of the Hyena" by Mark Fine - a clever mix of culture-clash, a true tribe of Africa, and karma catching up with the bad guy; "Confessions" by Julie M. Brown - a priest's abuse destroys many souls. (I was provided the book in exchange for an honest review)

    I have always enjoyed writing short stories and they are almost always horror stories. I hope you will take the time to read not only my stories in these anthologies, but also read the short stories of the other fine authors who have contributed. You will probably find other authors you enjoy. Look for other books they have written. And please take the time to let them know you enjoy their work.
