Review:
Obession: In the Cold, Dark Time, by Joe R. Landale was quite some read that
was indeed interesting. The story was from one of the Tales of Irresistible
Desire. This is one of the 19 collections of well written storytellers....'dark obessions.' Some of these stories may even be considered some type of
fantasy, horror, paranormal and even some anthologies.
Be ready for a well written read:
“Medusa’s Child,” Kim Antieau
“Hot Eyes, Cold Eyes,” Lawrence Block
“Hymenoptera,” Michael Blumlein
“She’s Not There,” Pat Cadigan
“My Lady of the Hearth,” Storm Constantine
“Calypso in Berlin,” Elizabeth Hand
“Lady Madonna,” Nancy Holder
“In the Cold, Dark Time,” Joe R. Lansdale
This author story was just a healing through one dying person... giving
words of encouragement to another WWI soldier who was a patient. For
he was needed to help care for the children. Later, he was able to help
with kind words ...another patient (soldier) who was a pilot. He told
the solder that he "would get out of my bed and go back to the front lines
to help the refugee children, and after the war he would help those who
remained."
.....................................................................................
"I think again of the old man and the life he gave me back
and the mercy he gives the children through me."
I found this a very touching story that I really enjoyed and I would recommend
you pick up this read.
“Nunc Dimittis,” Tanith Lee
“The Girl with Hungry Eyes,” Fritz Leiber
“Tallulah,” Charles de Lint
“The Snake Woman’s Lover,” Catherine Lundoff
“Land of the Lost,” Stewart O’Nan
“The Oval Portrait,” Edgar Allan Poe
“The Hound Lover,” Laura Resnick
“Barbara,” John Shirley
“An Apiary of White Bees,” Lee Thomas
“Close to You,” Steve Rasnic Tem
“The Light That Passes Through You,” Conrad Williams
I did notice that a few of these stories I had already read but still they were good in this collection. Be ready for some "irrational extremes, involves
us in dangerous liaisons and fatal attractions . . . obsession consumes.
Enticing, compulsively readable tales from nineteen masterful storytellers."
If you are into "Sirens, demon lovers, femme fatales, and others compel our
love, drawing us into realms of forbidden desire and uncontrollable passion".
you have come to the right place to enjoy your good read.
