- The Dead Mayberrys and Other Stories
on Sep. 02, 2010
This is a collection of six short stories, ranging from the horror genre of the title, to the humorous tale of working in an office with Superman. The stories are well written and engaging, with something for everybody. I enjoyed the author's wit and eloquence,even his pathos. Crabtree is clearly a talented writer and I would have no hesitation in recommending this compilation. It is easy to understand, when reading these stories, why aspiring writers are so often advised to hone their craft in this medium. In these stories we have a skilled craftsman at work, one who has the knack of taking a common story and imposing his unique slant on it. An excellent read.
