yellowbird's Reviews > Night Visions 5

This is a collection of short stories, and the one that really stands out for me is The Skin Trade by George R.R. Martin. Imagine a light hearted private detective story with elements of werewolf (although they're not all wolves)mythology thrown in, and you've got the general idea. I really think this was the inspiration for Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, although she took a darker, more police procedural approach, and worked in necromancy and vampirism as well.
The other shorts in this book are ok. Stephen King's contributed (Sneakers and Dedication, but the Dan Simmons stories didn't seem that memorable.
Still, I like collections of horror stories, and I think this one is worth reading.
