Customer Reviews

Fantastic stories!

These are just some great tales which are always exciting, sometimes sad, often thrilling, and always enrapting! He's done a great job putting them together and I'm glad to have this collection in my library!

Great book!

I have ADD so reading is hard for me. Most books I can't or won't finish. I could not stop reading this book. The writing is brilliant!!

a walk on the different side

I enjoyed these short stories with their very real and interesting charictors as well as their haunting overtones. Varied, fasinating and gripping I read it from cover to cover without wanting to put it down! The short story form is a hard one to write in and to write well in its confines harder yet. Mr Berman has a mastery of the form that is rare in an early work by any author!I would definatly recomend the book!

Hauntingly beautiful

With tales ranging from the magical to the eerie to the macabre, Trysts always keeps you guessing and always keeps you interested. The characters along with their feelings and dilemmas just seem so real that you can't help but to empathize with them. Keeping true to realism and avoiding the classic "happy endings", Trysts will never leave you successfully predicting a story's ending half way through the pages. Each story is a beautiful work on it's own, but when all thirteen are taken together it makes for one of the best literary works I've ever read. Highly recommended.
