Publisher's summary

Welcome to the world of John McIlveen. Enter, please, but be warned...here you will find tales that blur the lines of horror, vengeance, humor, sorrow, and humanity. You will encounter broken people with dark secrets and darker desires.

Meet Justice, whose art exposes your soul. Ride along as a man's search for his daughter reveals that sometimes the best way to heal old scars is to make new ones. Go on vacation with the Seths, who are forced to play a game that is every parent's nightmare. Play a Sunday game of softball with the most unusual team imaginable.

You will experience the foulest parts of humanity, as well as the funniest and sweetest. Some of these stories will make you laugh, some will anger or shock you, but all of them will affect you. You will love, hate, and sympathize with the characters, possibly at the same time.

A very versatile author

An interesting collection of short stories, some quite horrific and serious, others less so, even comic. All are well written and well voiced. I love it when a talented writer employs an equally talented narrator to bring his words to audio.
A very imaginative collection that will keep you entertained for the duration. Well done.

GREAT COLLECTION!

I really enjoyed it! Although this book was full of short stories, they did not lack entertainment! The narration was good and kept me entertained! The author did a good job with the characters and different array of stories. This was my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more of his books!

Fantastic Compilation

I didn’t know what to expect from this book but it was very well done.

The stories never got to the point of going on for too long and becoming tiresome.

I laughed much more than I thought I would and found MY life and actions in some of the tales.

The characters were nicely developed but not overdone.

Edison McDaniels MADE these stories come to life!!!

Inflictions

I listened to stories by this author in an anthology and enjoyed them so I took a chance on this collection and was not disappointed. The author is someone I will be looking for more from. Each of the stories in this collection were well written and grabbed my attention. Interesting worlds and strong characters were created. I enjoyed all the stories included and it would be hard to pick one as a favorite. Each story takes the listener on a new journey that keeps your attention through the end. Narrator Edison McDaniels does a nice job of keeping the narration flowing throughout this collection.
