This anthology is full of creepy goodness! Contributions from eight authors give readers a variety of writing styles, all captivating in their own way. Anthologies can sometimes be difficult to rate, since some stories and authors can be much better than others. But this one left me with no such dilemma. A great read, from start to finish.
Please note! "Seabird an Invitation" is only the first half of the book originally published as just "Seabird" in January 2008. The second half of the book (aka "Seabird...Three Tombs") may possibly be found online at B&N or Smashwords--but I make no promises. As for a review: this part is good as far as it goes, but it stops abruptly, leaving virtually every plot thread dangling.
I received this for free from Members Giveaway. The book was ok. It's a collection of short stories and poems. Some were confusing to me and I didn't understand it completely. Others didn't end and were left wide open which also left me frustrated.
