My Thoughts: I love the name of this book, the title is a perfect choice. All the stories were like going on a road trip and stopping at every weird attraction a long the way, like the world's largest ball of twine etc. It was a fun trip and I loved it. I was already a fan of Sullivan's writing style and I will be honest I was partial to the Rebecca Burton stories. I loved Haunting Obsession and was fangirl excited to see a couple of Rebecca stories. I enjoyed how each short was a well written stand along piece. I love short story collections and this is one of the finest I have read. Wonderful collection. This is for sure a collection to read if you love the classic sci fi like Doctor Who or The Twilight Zone. The collection just made me think of classic tales.
My Rating: 4 out of 5.
About the author: R.J. Sullivan’s novel Haunting Blue
is an edgy paranormal thriller and the first book of the adventures of punk
girl Fiona “Blue” Shaefer and her boyfriend Chip Farren. Seventh Star Press
also released Haunting Obsession, a Rebecca Burton Novella, and Virtual Blue,
the second part of Fiona’s tale. The short stories in this collection have been
featured in such acclaimed anthologies as Dark Faith Invocations by Apex Books

the Red Lotus, which collects the series of science fiction novelettes in the
tradition of Andre Norton and Gene Roddenberry.
R.J. resides
with his family in Heartland Crossing, Indiana. He drinks regularly from a
Little Mermaid coffee mug and is man enough to admit it.
