Have unwittingly stumbled into an Aquatic Horror theme recently, with Clickers, Dead Calm, and now a story in this book, 'The Cantatrice'. Works for me. Only two stories in, but this seems to be a solid collection; Renard has become a favourite, now that I'm up to a fifth book by him.

'The Man Who Wanted To Be Invisible' was almost like a Wodehouse story - great to happen upon a bit of humour in this collection. I was also reminded of the 'invisible man' sketch in the movie Amazon Women on the Moon.

That takes care of the story that became the title of the whole book, 'The Doctored Man'. It was similar to a novel I read recently, The Man With Six Senses by Muriel Jaeger - and they are actually from around the same time. I guessed at the twist in Renard's tale, but I still had a good time with it. Everything left in the book seems to be a lot shorter: ten stories or essays from page 188 to 266 (plus Afterword).

Alright, so that's the first tale done, 'Monsieur D'Outremort, Gentleman Physicist' - rather creepy. I think this will be more great work from Renard, sort of a mix of Horror/SF, and a few essays. I'll be bouncing between this and Solar Pons until both books are done - just loving my short-story binge - but after that, I think it will be time for a Horror novel again.
