I've been meaning to post about my associate Shawn C. Baker's book for a while now, ever since i picked it up and flew right through it. But for some reason, it kept eluding me. Anyway, considering the season, "A Collection of Desires: 7 Tales of Modern Horror," seemed like the perfect thing to read before Halloween comes and goes. These page-turning short stories feature a whole slew of the macabre, but through a decidedly 21st century lens, and a kind of seedy LA neon tinge faintly glowing in the background. And there's something for everyone too. Killer apps! Demon summoning! Evil (and single) goth girls! Lovecraftian beasties! Vampires! Murder! Revenge! A highlight for me is the dread and paranoia soaked "In His Arms, She Felt Loved," but you can't go wrong with all seven of these morbid tales.
