I'd intended to run this review in conjunction with an interview I conducted with Brad and his wife Sue. Unfortunately, Brad suffered a stroke about the time I finished transcribing the interview, so he hasn't had a chance to check it for accuracy (there were a couple of places where the recording isn't clear). I have no intention of rushing him. I'd much rather he focus on getting back on his feet.
In the meantime, I will run this review, partly as a show of support for Brad and partly because I try to find things I think the readers of this blog will enjoy. And there's plenty here to enjoy.
Bradley H. Sinor is mainly a writer of short stories. This volume contains 15 selections, plus an afterward telling a little about how each story came to be written. There's a wide variety here, from Lovecraftian horror, to alternate history, to Arthurian vampires.
Rather than give a synopsis, even a one line synopsis, of each story, I'll highlight some of my favorites.
