Chimerascope by Douglas Smith

3.0

I'm not usually one for short story anthologies, but this one caught my eye, and it was well worth the gamble. Smith is definitely a gifted writer, with an amazing ability to evoke emotions and leave a story in your head long after you're done reading it. The horror stories were by far the best, as horror lends itself better to the suggestion and incompleteness that is inherent in a short story. The stories that touched on other genres were still good, but they just didn't feel "fleshed out" enough for me. My favourite story was "By Her Hand, She Draws You Down", and it's worth getting this book for that story alone.
