Piranha To Scurfy: And Other Stories (2002)

About book Piranha To Scurfy: And Other Stories (2002)

I don't know why short story collections aren't more popular. Small mouthfuls of story are ideal for the times you don't want to commit to some enormous tome. There may be as many words as in a novel, but the frequent changes and pace and characters are refreshing.Some of the first stories have unpredictable ends that are somehow anticlimactic but I still enjoyed them. The best story, however, was a demented mix of Children of the Corn and the Darling Buds of May. I'll say no more to avoid spoilers, but it was a really interesting idea, even if the switching of narrator did confuse me in a few places.All up - a solid read and enough difference between the stories to keep you interested. And they aren't all murders or small town mysteries, although many certainly have that element.
