I was considering reading this author's Butcher's Road (which grabbed me because of the synopsis), but decided that first I'd try some of the author's short fiction. To my surprise and delight, Like Light for Flies turned out to be a nearly-perfect collection of short stories, both in terms of the stories themselves, and in the lives reflected within which are just not pretty. There is a bleak mix of pain, loneliness and suffering embedded within these tales; as Sarah Langan most astutely notes
Wow! Lee Thomas delivers a powerful collection of horror stories. I am in awe of his talent.While all of the stories are fantastic, I do have my favorites:The House by the Park -- I found this story captivating and heartbreaking. It had that 80's Italian horror film feel to it but with much more likable characters.Fine in the Fire -- This story absolutely terrified me.The Dodd Contrivance -- Like old school Burroughs meets Lovecraft but with more finesse and a damned fine payoffI highly recommen...
Fantastical, dark, and exactly why i love Lee Thomas.
Great book, and a wonderful way to experience Lee Thomas. Usually a collection of stories has a few I skim over. Not this collection. Every story was a good read.
This author has a way with words. Masterful writing and enthralling (albeit rather grim/dark) fantasy-horror stories altogether pack a powerful punch.I personally really enjoyed The Butcher’s Block (this story & ending remain etched into my brain for days after reading it), Fine in the Fire (just plain haunting, this one), and The House by the Park (a love story with a bittersweet ending).
