Shock Rock

This was a pretty good collection of stories. All of them are based in one way or another on rock and roll music. It a cool concept and it was carried off fairly well here. The majority of the stories are short and all of them are fast reading. I don't know if this makes them better or worse, but they are still there and they are still enjoyable. And since I happened to recognize almost every author and like their respective styles, picking out favorites became difficult. But here they are.
