I really enjoy Richard Chizmar’s writing. The stories in this anthology are varied enough so that they don’t feel repetitive. Not much horror of the supernatural or monster variety. It’s more human beings as monsters, and many of these stories showed humans at their worst. I wasn’t too keen on the reader though, and only listened until the end because of the writing. The reader had a speech pattern, pronunciation and/or inflection style that was very off-putting and constantly took me out of the stories. I would have given up if not for Chizmar’s writing. I don’t think I’d read anything by this reader again. All in all, loved the book, didn’t care for the reader at all.
