Reader: ZIPPERED FLESH 2 is “the best anthology” so far this year
Barnes & Noble reader “SaraFangoria” has posted a review of ZIPPERED FLESH 2, which features my story, “The Little Things”:
ZIPPERED FLESH 2, now available at Amazon.com.
This is by far the best anthology I have read this year. While this one may not be as big as a few others, each story seems to have been well picked and very well written by each writer. Each story in here is either a five star story or a four. None are below that, which is so rare these days. Usually anthologies have a bit of killer and a whole lot of filler. Not here. Here’s how I break them down.
5 STARS –Shaun Meeks‘ “Taut”, Lisa Mannetti‘s “The Hunger Artist”, Bryan Hall‘s “The Modern Adonis”, Rick Hudson “The Affair of the Jade Dragon”, J.M. Reinbold‘s “The Future of Flesh”, L.L. Soares‘ “Seeds”, Kealan Patrick Burke‘s “Underneath”, Jonathan Templar‘s “BabyDaddy”, Christian A. Larsen‘s “The Little Things” and Michael Bailey‘s “Primal Tongue”. Each of these stories effected me in different ways, but they all have one thing in common, they made me want to read them again right away. Not that the other stories in here weren’t great, they were, but these were my stand outs.
