Spending as much time in hospitals as I have been lately, you have hours and hours to read. Short stories are perfect for hospital reading because you don't lose your train of thought with the constant interruptions of doctors and nurses. This collection of short stories really grabbed my attention. Some of my favorite authors were included in the anthology and I was introduced to some new writers. Some of the stories definitely stood out for me. Brendan DuBois wrote "A Family Game" in which a bullying baseball dad gets payback for his behavior. Michael Malone contributed a story called "Maniac Loose" about a widow in Alabama who takes revenge on her husband's mistress which was both delicious and disturbing. And my favorite was Robert T. Parker's "Halem Nocture" which took a look at Jackie Robinson's rookie year off the field. A good selection of stories.
