Ordinarily, when reading a book of short stories in the horror genre, the more normal the lead-in and middle of the story, the more horrible the ending.The reader comes to expect this, anticipate it, and therefore, discount it.Not so with these stories.Ms. Reed still manages to surprise the reader with the twists at the end, or the way in which the "normal" part draws you in, only to shock in the wrap up.Based on her short stories, Ms. Reed is an excellent author, and this is a much better than "normal" book of short stories.Click Here to see more reviews about: Dogs of Truth: New and Uncollected Stories (Paperback)
