Re: So what about the other stories?
Okay, so I finally finished, barring "Final Processing," which I'm going to leave to when I read "Handling the Undead." "Paper Walls" -- I found very short and atmospheric. Enjoyable, but ultimately not a lot there. May read this one again. "Tindalos" - I thought I was going to end up lumping this o...

Re: So what about the other stories?
Wait, "The Border" is being filmed? Link? Never mind, I found it. Interesting choice for a movie. Continuing with my thoughts on the stories... I have to preface with one note: I've been reading this collection as an e-book, and I have been "reading" it at times using software on my phone which rea...

Re: The *rest* of the anthology
Is it just me or are the rest of the story super depressing? At least the first few, Up in Old Vermont, Something Lost, Something Gained, Paper Cuts, We are All Monsters Now, they all seem to be variations of the theme: humans are the real monsters, the vampires are just the catalyst. I kind of wan...

Re: So what about the other stories?
Okay, reading along. "A Village in the Sky": Liked very much, especially for the LTROI reference. Didn't go where I expected. "Equinox": That was okay. I liked the handling of the protagonist, but the ending felt abrupt and scattered IMO. "Itsy Bitsy": I have to confess, that as a former longtime jo...

Re: So what about the other stories?
Just started reading this. Finished "The Border" and liked it. I could see David Cronenburg doing a film version.

Re: The *rest* of the anthology
So far... "Up in Old Vermont" -- Just to add, some reviewers complain about the long setup, but I liked it. I liked the monster, and the ending was scary though predictable. Not predictable from the onset, at least the form that it took. Nice layering. And being a New Englander, I always appreciate ...

Re: What kept you so long?
Haven't read yet, but my first thought was, "What's he going to do when he runs out of phrases from that Morrissey song for titles?"
I kid, I kid.
I kid, I kid.

The *rest* of the anthology
I thought I'd start a thread to discuss the *other* stories in the anthology. I'm intending to read the whole thing, because I just can't stand the idea of gobbling up the JAL story first. Are you reading the others? I'm only one story in, but I enjoyed "Up In Old Vermont," the first story. I kind o...

Re: New short story from JAL
I was going to grab the e-book, but, oddly, the paperback is currently cheaper than the Kindle version on Amazon.
