Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Urban Allies edited by Joseph Nassise

 

Normally I am not fond of short stories, however I am fond of Nassise's work so I thought I would give this a chance.  It is an outstanding collection of Urban Fantasy.

The problem with reviewing a book of short stories is that the review is of necessity either very brief or exceptionally long if you try and review each story.

This will be brief.  The focus of the stories is supernatural, monster and weird happenings.  Two authors collaborate on bringing their unique characters together to work on a problem.  Great premise that worked very well.   Larry Correia's Special Agent Franks was a new character and author that piqued my interest, as well as Jonathan Mayberry's Captain Joe Ledger in the same story.

Nassise's wit in Pig Roast was most amusing.   I was familiar with quite a few of the authors but not all of them.

This is a good read and frankly that is high praise from a guy who doesn't like short stories.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
