An Apple for the Creature (2012) edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner
First, I hate this title. It grates on my nerves like nails down a chalkboard.
Luckily, the title is not reflective of most of the stories inside.
“Low School,” by Rhys Bowen was okay, but I saw where it was going right away. I did appreciate how your opinion of the main character changed as the story went in. People are complex and do things for complex reasons, and I think this was a fabulous example of creating a very complex character. But for the most part the story left me cold.
All in all, it was a decent selection of short stories that made up for terrible title.
Rating: 7/10
