Twisted Fantasies: A Short Story Collection

A short story collection with a lot of variety and mostly weird offbeat plots which meant I rarely knew what was coming next.

I like the way the author does characters; all of them are written well and come off like real and personable people. It helps to ground a few of these stories that get zany and over the top.

Philosophy played a big part throughout this collection and it offered up a bunch of interesting things to think about but I'm sure most of it went over my head.

Now some of the stories didn't click with me and seemed out of place in a collection named Twisted Fantasies; Crowd Game being the one that stands out most. I kept waiting for something crazy to happen and well it was actually a straight forward tale and I didn't understand the running through crowds stuff. It was well written and fine; it just wasn't for me. There were a couple of other stories that play out like this but overall I enjoyed the collection.
