Inner Demons: Four Novellas by Robert Ford

4.0

The old cartoons I used to watch had a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. But what if the devil starts to win more than lose? How long could the angel deal with that? How long could anyone?
Robert Ford


A collection of four very different Robert Ford novellas that are only linked by the quality of the writing and a touch of the extreme. It’s a mixed bag. I enjoyed the first, didn’t like the second, really liked the third, and adored the last one. ‘Big Stakes Jackie’, that last one, has such a beautifully slow build up and growing tension that I just couldn’t put it down. Worth the money just for that story!
