mysteries with occult element

Freaking spooky is what I'm gonna say right now, especially "Madeeda"! This ain't no lightweight "Sookie" novel!

Wow, very incredible! All have a touch or more of the paranormal. We meet: two vampires, Circe, a ghost keeper, magican, Hecate, a Banshee, a little girl who can make bad people disappear, a ghost, a seer of death, and more.

Each story is different:

Dahlia Underground, Vampires get revenge & save their rescuers from Vampire killers

Hixon, Circe lives

The Trespassers, Saving an old haunted house from being turned into a B&B

House of Horrors, The bully boy disappears

The Bedroom Door, Grandmother has the gift/curse of seeing people who will die in 3 days in the door way of her bedroom

The Awareness, A banshee investigates the death of one her "family" members

These are just a few of the offerings. I really enjoyed this book. ( )

This is a collection of paranormal short stories. As with any collection some were good and some not so much. An okay read for fans of the genre or the specific authors. Can’t rave about it! ( )

Not a bad collection, but not the best one I've read. I liked about half the stories, found most of the rest just 'ok' and completely disliked one. Still, there are a few here that I'll probably re-read again in the future when I'm looking for a quick Supernatural fix. ( )

This was the best short story I've seen from Charlaine Harris, and the most interesting writing I've read of hers in a while. Although it dealt with a new character, it was tight, compelling, and she didn't rely on established characters to tell a story. Nicely done.

Out of the other stories, some were better than others. I didn't skip any completely, but did skim through a couple.

A quick note on the format I read this in--never again will I read a collection of short stories by various authors on my Sony eReader. I've discovered that I really like to browse around, flip back and forth, and skip stories I'm not enjoying. For some reason this just wasn't happening in a useful way as an ebook. I'm also having trouble remembering the stories themselves--which authors did I want to find more from? No idea. ( )
