The Immortals and Other Tales

I came to this via my ongoing short audio festival. Yeah me I stumbled on [b:The Immortals 10233394 The Immortals Victor J. Banis https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1365599651s/10233394.jpg 15133327], and though I wouldn't recommend the audio by Guy Veryzer (kind of bad) I was sufficiently intrigued by the story to want to read it on my own and found it in this collection.The stories in this anthology are a mixed bag of scary campfire tales, horror, careful what you wish for, poison pen letters etc. They are absolutely NOT romances. Of any sort. I liked them. Particular standouts: “Broken Record”, “An Apple a Day”, “The Canals of Mars” (the only one that can remotely qualify as a love story) “If Love Were All” (punch to the gut) “In Passing”, “The Immortals” (poking holes in our assumptions)“A Man of Principle”Also I love the cover. ;)
