A collection of insanely vivid stories with a common theme of wrongness etched across their faces.

Dan Henk has crafted a grand look at another world, one just outside our own, where many familiar fears and trials (as in the things we humans have nightmares about) lurk.

My favorite stories were "Small Spaces In Time" and "Christmas is Cancelled."

The former dealt with getting lost in a moment of time with something that seems familiar but is anything but.

The latter was, obviously, a gruesome take on the tale of Santa Claus and as I'm a sucker for anything wholesome being turned terrible (in the best way possible), this one stuck with me.

I have Dan Henk's novel Black Seas of Infinity and if it's anything like this collection, I won't be able to put it down.

This was a very well-put together read. In hindsight, I feel like I watched an awesome, well thought-out movie. The pacing was excellent, the character was interesting, and you really feel drawn into his world.

The character's thoughts were realistic, and what I love about Henk's work is that while set in the real world, (relatively), there are hints of mysticism and downright out-thereness that just works.

It took me so long to read because I'm terrible with reading things lately, and busy, but it was not the fault of the book in any way, shape, or form.

This was a riveting, sci-fi jaunt, and it makes me want to upload my consciousness into an alien body suit if only to see what the fuck would happen. (And if it's anything like what happened, here, count me the fuck in.)
