While each selection was chosen as a featured attraction in the amusement park that is this dark fantasy anthology, the stories are quite diverse, encompassing several subgenres, ranging from urban fantasy to children’s stories, Lovecraftian to body horror, and even a ghostly romance. Like any amusement park, there is something for everyone. There is a narrative about baseball and superstition taken to a terrifying extreme, a mobster ghost story that takes place in a restaurant where the spirit of a mafioso who had been gunned down there haunts a troubled salesman, and a tale that delves into the dark realm of child abuse and how the cycle can be broken, among other chilling yarns.
There are eleven tales of the bizarre and unusual in all.
Enjoy the ride!… (plus d'informations)

Baseball gains an original and intriguing twist as it collides with a imaginative fantasy world.

Jake breathes baseball. When his dad, a professional pitcher, finds a new position for a team in Pine Barrows after healing from an injury, Jake's not thrilled, but it's not only for the usual reasons like weaker internet, friends or such. Jake has a secret. He's always heard voices, but now, in Pine Barrows they are clearer and he sees beings no one else can. Of course, this goes way beyond baseball. It's an entirely different world, and a danger is arising...one that will destroy everything he loves if he doesn't find a way to stop it.

Baseball is the first main theme in this one. Jake loves the sport, and it shows. Not only does he play baseball (of course), but he dreams of it. The author builds in baseball terminology, a little bit of history, and even creates the chapters in a way, which more than hints at the game. So, this is one for baseball fans. But it's more.

Fantasy trickles in quickly and allows the imagination to take flight. Goblins and other creatures create a world, which usually has nothing to do with baseball. It's a fun mix. There were a few spots which pulled a bit out of the world, but all in all, the tale moves right along and keeps the reader invested in the pages. Tension mounts as Jack has to save everything he loves, builds unexpected friendships, and shows the wonderful warmth of family bonds. In other words, it's an entertaining read.
I received an ARC and enjoyed the tale.… (plus d'informations)
