Lädt ... Fortune: Lost and Foundvon L.S. Murphy
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Member Giveaways geschrieben. I received Fortune: Lost and Found as a member giveaway on LibraryThing. It's a horror anthology centered around the theme of greed. Not a bad topic for horror. The twelve authors in this book each approach it in his or her own way, exploring what their characters will do for money, power, voices from the past, or even a good night's sleep. On the whole, Fortune: Lost and Found is a decent read, with most of the stories being well-written and interesting. My favorite, by far, is Brent Michael Kelley's "A Friend in Paga," but I also really enjoyed Lizz-Ayn Shaarawi's "The Rules" and Christian A. Larsen's "The Plagiarist's Wireless." "Down the Pan" by Phil Hickes was also fun. While I rate the book fairly low, these stories and a couple others make up for the weaker ones. It's worth checking out. 2.5/5 (  ) MFenn | Jun 14, 2013 |  The standouts for me were Down the Pan by Phil Hickes, Trabajando Alegre by Wednesday Lee Friday, and Twisted Words by Andrew Stockton. This is not to say the other stories were faulty in any way. I didn't find one bad or even mediocre story in the bunch. The three I mentioned were the ones I connected most with. The writing styles hooked me from the start, and story themes stuck with me long after I'd finished each of them. (  ) Darcia | Nov 4, 2012 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Capital, cash, gold, lucre-- money makes the world go round. But fortunes easily gained are often painfully lost. Since the very first king pressed his face onto the very first coin no single thing has led so many to ruin. Fortune, it seems, has a dark side and a wickedly evil sense of humor. Curses, plagues and misfortunes rain down on those who dare to tip the scales in their own favor. Fortune: Lost and Found edited by L.S. Murphy and Kate Jonez is a collection of tales about money and wealth and the potentially horrifying consequences of gaining or losing it. Featuring stories from Brent Michael Kelley, Kurt Fawver, Christian A. Larsen, Phil Hickes, Wednesday Lee Friday, Garrett Cook, Lizz-Ayn Shaarawi, Andrew G. Dombalagian, Lydia Ondrusek, John Jasper Owens, Eric J. Guignard, Andrew M Stockton, and Cory J. Herndon. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
