| A solid collection exploring superpowers in everyday folk, neatly combined into police procedural stories and one historical yarn. This is a suite of five stories, all connected in some ways, with cool recurring characters. | |

| A fantastic collection of three short stories and a novella with Warren's signature horror style in spades. The novella, Sky, is perhaps one of the most surreal horror stories I've ever read and it is absolutely brilliant. | |

Hi Al, I LOVE that people love your work so much. Was just reading reviews of Write the Fight Right: they all adore it. It's brilliant. Now, I'm off to do some reading of my own. :)

Oooo I like dark fantasy. Thank you for adding me. =)http://www.cardshark.com/content/view...
and my dark fantasy fav:
I've just added all the books of The Belgariad and The Mallorean, along with Belgarath The Sorcerer and Polgara The Sorceress to my shelves. It's terribly sad news to hear that David Eddings has died. These books are part of the reason I became an author.
