Summary: Scary Food For Thought
Comment: Some eerily good writing on both a micro and macro level will keep you thinking about these stories for days after you read them (Dancing Men, in particular, gave me a chill up the spine for about a week, with its incredibly vivid last image)--what more can I say, but this is a brilliant work by an up and coming young writer in this genre. I think that you'll enjoy it greatly.

Summary: Literary Masterpieces
Comment: Don't let the terms "horror" and "ghost" send you running. I'm not big on the generic King-style stories, but I was turned on to checking out THE TWO SAMS after a friend suggested I read it as a challenge. She was right. There is so much more here than meets the eye.
Each story is a thought-provoking literary journey. And the general ideas/plots were realistic enough that I didn't find myself rolling my eyes. My favorite gem was the title story about a man who after losing two unborn children himself, watches after a parentless child - both moving/touching and haunting. And "Dancing Men" brings the holocaust to life as the reader watches it being passed down from generation to generation.
Not only is this one of the best collection of ghost stories I have ever read, but I have to wonder if Glen Hirshberg has created a whole new genre: literary horror. It really stuck with me. I think I'll read them all again.
