Smashwords book reviews by Write-a-Book-in-a-Day
- Crossing Over
on April 24, 2011
I loved this collection of short stories and poems by authors who could not be more different. The two stories by Phil Mayne - of a sailor trying to find his way back to his ship in Madagascar and of an archaeological expedition to the Antrum of the Oracle of the Dead and the River Styx - were stories to read many times. It is a perfect book for bed time reading.
