Customer Reviews

An evocative collection of stories.

After reading "Stanley Park", I checked to see what else this author might have written and read this collection of short stories.This collection really showcases Tim Taylor's talents. All the stories are tightly written and very evocative. His writing style is very detailed and immerses you into the environment he's set the story in.The tales in the collection show elements he later used Stanley Park, and the novella at the end of the collection show the same fine attention to detail.There isn't a bad story in the lot - a solid 4 star rating.
