This review is just for Chad A.B. Wilson's "The ERB Man," a story that is in the vein of Philip K. Dick or other classic sci-fi writer short stories. In this flash story, a family home is infested with an erebelluskus that charms adults while slowly killing younger family members. The story ends with a surprising twist that made me a little sad that the story had ended. Wilson is able to create a plausible world, plot, humor, and horror in just a few pages with a catchy jingle for its title character. I hope to get back to this anthology to read the rest of its stories.
