  <default_description>In acclaimed author Steve Berman's second collection of thirteen stories and essays, he again guides readers through the darker pathways of his imagination. These are stories of regret: the scent of loneliness enticing odd children to eat away a fussy caretaker's historic house; a depressed accountant turns to monster hunting; and a young lover's temptation by handsome nursery rhyme. After each tale Berman provides a tangential author note that offers insight into his past trysts as well as his fears and dreams.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I hadn't read any of Steve Berman's writing before, though his name is coming up more and more as the owner of Lethe Press, the publisher of this anthology. I was glad to be offered this collection to review as he'd picked up some books I considered to be top notch, and hoped his writing would be of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62850829">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Starting to write my impression on this book, while still all the idea were storming in my brain, probably I realized one of the meaning of the title: Second Thoughts, since all the story in this anthology were previously published elsewhere and Steve Berman collected them and added his second thoug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56030273">more...</a>]]></body>
