Flowers from the moon and other lunacies
OCTOBER 11:
"Satan's Phonograph":
A very short and surprisingly chilly tale about such a weird thing as a... soul stealing phonograph:-D
As is often the case with a Bloch story there's also a healthy dose of dark humor and irony involved.
OCTOBER 13:
"Be Yourself":
An early version of the story Stephen King tells in his novel The Dark Half and other tales where he deals with the "personality split" of a writer. Bloch delivers an excellent tale here, which is also about finding yourself again and believing that is actually good enough.
OCTOBER 13:
"A Question of Identity":
Perhaps it is a difference between a reader of today and a reader in the times the story was written, but I found it too easy to discern what this was all about. Long before the ending it is clear that the person we follow is a vampire--making the "punch" of the ending rather blah. Except for that it was a very intense, claustrophopic read.
More reviews coming.
