Review: The Vanished: Wraiths and Fables
This collection so short stories stealthily walks the line between fantasy and nightmare and sneaks itself into your dreams. Most of the eight short stories are set in the future, where the world now lacks something... perhaps it's music that is missing, or animals. The people may constantly live inside with no remembrance of the color of the sky, or perhaps the cities have been destroyed and demons now walk among us. It is a changed world and the people who live there are both like us and foreign to what we know.
The author does a great job of bringing this future to life, with descriptions that make you see colors of the new sky, the hopes of the people who are there, and even their despair. While the future in these short stories may seem a little bleak, there is enough human interest to keep you reading to see what happens next.

If you like short stories with an edge of mystery, I would recommend Vanished: Wraiths and Fables. The kindle edition can be found at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESE7TG2/?tag=shasworofboo-20.
