4.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Short Stories
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021
Verified Purchase
TS Alan shares some fabulous short stories, giving the reader a stroll down horror lane. These five stories are amazing, and I really enjoyed the stories that were shared. Each one brings a level of horror. The stories include:
Love Undying
Pumpkin Face
The Other Self
Specter of the 1-2-3
A Soul For A Silver Dollar

Pumpkin Face has triggers for those who stay away from sexual trauma. But other than that, it was a great story! I ranged emotions on that one, but it was perfectly done. A Soul For A Silver Dollar and The Specter of the 1-2-3 are among my favorites of the book! Both stories were fabulous, and I wasn't ready for them to end.
I look forward to seeing more from this author!

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021
Thank you, Booktasters, for getting me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.

This anthology of short stories is ACES! I loved the writing style and there weren't any distracting editing problems. I enjoyed the first story, "Love, Undying" and was impressed with the details of gangster life in Las Vegas. Even if it was all made up, it seemed legit and was described thoroughly. I liked the plot and found it suspenseful and horrific at the same time. It was a good read. This was my favorite story in the book.

"Pumpkinface" was my least favorite. It lacked description and character development in some areas.
Because it was a short story and not a novel, I wasn't too disappointed and some of the content in this story didn't need description. Topics like incest and rape are worse when left to one's imagination. Although it was my least fav, it was still a very well-told story with an open-ended closing. This story evoked a lot of emotions from me, which I think is a sign of a good story.

Overall, this book was worth reading. If you like suspense and supernatural stories, it's for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Goombas and guns and gore, oh my!
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2022
Just when I stop giggling enough to draw comparisons with The Mummy movies, the author himself makes both Brendan Fraser and Sherlock Holmes references that crack me up further. And that’s just the first story! The stories of revenge continue with liberal splashes of Italian (glad I’m taking lessons although there is Google Translate otherwise) and gore. In other stories, we have references to Dr. Who and High Noon. Altogether, this is a book with something for everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting stories of revenge
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021
I recieved a review copy from Booktasters

An interesting take on people coming back from the grave to seek revenge from TS Alan

Love Undying has a Vegas singer come back from the grave to find his old love. Unfortuantely, some scene transitions arent very clear making for a couple of confusing moments.

Pumpkin Head is a chilling tale of Halloween revenge, and someone looking for his head...

The Other Self features a possible split personality case but is really a dead hitman for the mob out for revenge

Spector of the 1-2-3
A murder victim of a gang comes back to make things right and get revenge after being stabbed and electrocuted in a subway

A Soul For a Silver Dollar
A Civil war captain betrayed and killed, makes a deal to come back and get revenge. I could've done without the celestial entities aspect of this story

3.0 out of 5 stars Book review
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023
The format was interesting because the stories were short, but some of them were more like novellas or novelettes. Sometimes, depending on my mood, I prefer a book of short stories over a novel. I found this very light, easy reading, but I didn't find any of the stories too scary. Some of the stories had characters that I found dull or a little difficult to like, and there wasn't really any story that stood out as my favourite.
