reviewed Outfoxing fear on January 18, 2016
Outfoxing fear
Meh. Good concept but only so-so delivery. The stories didn't all fit the author's declared purpose/framework and she veered away from her theme far too often in her author shorts inserted between tales. In fact, they came across as quite self-indulgent. Also it rang as an afterthought (and somewhat cheap, at that) to invoke 9/11 as the logic behind this collection. All in all, I expected something much more flowing and cohesive. Especially after the glowing intro that painted her as Scheherazade.
