All these stories are top drawer. You know the few socko stories that one finds in most anthologies? Well, each story in this anthology is top of the line. There are no mediocre or marginally acceptable tales in this book. Amazing!

The stories remind me of early Bradbury and some of the best of the original twilight zone stories. Remember some stories that you just had to tell people they must read (e.g., like Joe Lansdale's "Godzilla's Twelve-Step Program"), well these stories are it! I plan on rereading these, and I've only reread 5 stories so far in my life! That's how good they are! WOW!

Ed Gorman is one of the main reasons I am an insomniac. Several years ago, he and a couple of fellow thugs persuaded me to try an anthology. My meat and potatoes are novels, but I soon found a gourmet?s delight in short stories so that I spend several nights reading a tale or two from a collection.

Mr. Gorman?s latest anthology exclusively includes only tales written by him. That alone guarantees that each story is top gun material. MOONCHASERS AND OTHER STORIES contains the title novella along with sixteen superior short stories, and an afterward by Koontz. Each story is well written and makes for exciting mystery reading. Especially superb are ?Moonchaser? with its teenagers and bank robber friendship theme and ?Turn Away?, which the audience will never turn away from finishing, but the other tales are also fun. The guru of short story mysteries has done it to me again by leaving me sleepless in crime fiction with another winning collection.

This book contains excellent photos and realistic prices for Shirley Temple dolls from the early composition dolls to the 1972 vinyl dolls. Also included are photos and prices for doll outfits, paperdolls, books, the sapphire blue breakfast set, and salts. If a collector wants photos and prices for other types of Shirley Temple items then I would suggest one of Patricia R. Smith's "Shirley Temple Dolls and Collectibles" books.
