THIRTEEN specimens and a garden of GHOSTS
Over at writer Don D’Ammassa’s review site Critical Mass, I found he had this to say about my Delirium Books short story collection THIRTEEN SPECIMENS back in September:
“The always unpredictable Jeffrey Thomas provides us with a selection of new, warped, weird, and wonderful visions. There are living cameras recording the horrors of the war in Vietnam, rooms full of centipedes requiring residents to live suspended on a system of wires, people fascinated with Hindu myths, people who assume the physical characteristics of others, monsters, the administrators of Hades, Korean devils, and unlikely Halloween horrors. Most of the book consists of three longish stories, and one of them, “The Mask Play of Hahoe Byeolsin Exorcism”, is the best in the book and justifies the cover price all by itself. “The Burning House” is related to his Hades stories. “Door 7” is indescribable. I also very much liked the short “Sympathetic Identity Disorder”. Very nice stuff, and not your ordinary fiction. 9/15/08″
A compelling description of the book…I know I’d buy it.
And I might buy it HERE, for instance: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1934546003/?tag=jeffreythomas-20
And while you’re visiting Don D.’s site, you might want to check out his review of my brother Scott Thomas’s new collection THE GARDEN OF GHOSTS, too: http://www.dondammassa.com/r3b_2008.htm#Garden_of_Ghosts
