Review by: Ecowitch on Aug. 27, 2011 :
These stories are so subtle and well written that it takes a moment or two for the little differences to really show themselves, building the tension and horror of the story so much better than the more usual approach of in your face horror. Each tale starts with an apparantly normalo situation, be it friends fishing at the side of a pond, a tramatised soldier returning from Iraq or a new species of beetle found in the forests of America. But as events progress the true horror of each situation comes to light, often with fatal consequences. Polson has a talent for writing realistic situation with characters that you can recognise in those you know (and yourself for that matter) that pull you in and keep you there until the end. The dark undercurrent of these stories will change the way you look at the world, you have been warned (but go for it anyway)

Brilliant. I couldn't choose a favourite as they were all so well written. 'Care and Feeding of the Old Flat Mile' was so descriptive you could imagine yourself there. 'In Hollow Fields' was frightening and had a strange twist. Look forward to reading more from this author.

These stories were spectacular. Quality fiction with interesting plots, good characterization, very readable prose, good descriptions, and sometimes with some humor too.

An excellent selection of atmospheric horror from Aaron Polson. My favourite story was 'In the Hollow.' Well written, creepy and disturbing. Recommended.
