Tonja Drecker has just written a fine review
of A SAMPLER OF SHADOWS!
ALWAYS SOMETHING UNEXPECTED
5 Stars

I've
read this author's work before and enjoyed this collection as much as
the other tales.
There were so many things to enjoy about this book.
The
large variety of tales promises a dive into something new with each
short story.
The characters, scenes, times and settings varied as much
as the plots themselves.
It was fun to hop from one tale to the next,
never really knowing what each one would bring.
Each one is thought
provoking in its own way, and most endings were hard to foresee.
All
lean in a slightly dark or/and unexpected direction...something I enjoy
about this author.
Each tale comes with a quote at the beginning
as well as a photograph.
This helped place the setting before diving in,
but never gave the story away.
It offered a nice introduction and add a
lovely 'something extra'.
Not to mention that these stories are great
for picking up whenever a little time allows.
Since each one is
relatively short,
it was nice to grab up for a short reading break
without having to worry about pausing the plot.
I enjoyed this one.
Tonja is awesome and so are you!
