Review title: I can't believe I put out good money for this mess
Product review: There was only a single half-way decent story in the book, the one by Steven Shrewsbury. I have read many of his stories and liked them, but this one, Home of the Brave, disappointed me.The others were trite, poorly written and unappetizing. The worst of the lot was Pacione's Bite of the Spider, which is a sequel to his House of Spiders. He cannot write well to begin with. His sentences change tense in the middle, his analogies don't work, and I sometimes wonder if he knows the proper meaning of many of the words he uses. His story is a perfect example of what is known as the "dumbing down of America".Hasan Abood's story, El Horror de la realidad, is the second worst in the book. The dialog is stiff and unworkable. His simplistic sentence structure read like a fourth grader wrote them. I found the story to be completely trite.The rest of the stories in this anthology are not worth mentioning.
