Thanks, Mary! There are many outstanding books here by unknown authors.
Yes, there are! I get really anxious every time I think about all the great authors the world never heard about.

Hmmmm. Spent my budgeted money on books for this month already. I may have to dip a little further into the pockets for this one! Short, sweet and to the point review. Good job!

This review is awesome. The book consists of these ten writers. There stories are connected because of their personalities and attitudes of the charactres. The stories are based on hatred and vegenance. It is not good to act out on either one because you will have to deal with the consequences. Even though these are short stories. They are written by ten different writers. Sometimes the ones that you are trying to destruct are the ones that brings you down.

I'd like to have this book because I'm not so used to reading composite stories or compilation of short tales. I enjoy lingering quite a bit longer in a novel and await compelling developments in the story as it comes, rather than be off with an abrupt end of a short tale.

Though I do prefer novels, short stories have a special allure too. Holding fire is a collective view from different perspectives. It shows how much writers can think to give an original piece of one topic.

It's been said that short stories are harder to write than novels because you have to pack so much into such a short space. It sounds, from your review, that this is what these authors did. Thank you.
