Mostly Routine, But Good

ILL AT EASE by Stephen Bacon, Mark West, and Neil Williams (2011 PenMan Press / 38 pp / e-book)
This mini-collection (co-titled "Three New Stories of the Macabre") features some genuinely chilling moments, especially in the opening tale.  Stephen Bacon's 'Waiting for Josh' is a quiet-type creeper, about a man who returns to his hometown where a young man had gone missing when he was a kid.  Bacon's tight prose will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Mark West's 'Come See My House in the Pretty Town' is another one about a man who returns to his hometown, this time reminding me a bit of The Wicker Man. It's okay, but forgettable. 
'Closer Than You Think,' by Neil Williams is a spine-tingler dealing with a haunted child's car seat (!).  The idea sounds a bit silly but Williams makes it work.
ILL AT EASE is a decent little collection, featuring three well written stories and a couple of goosebumps.  Mostly routine, but good.
