Short Story Collection Review: Tales from the Abyss

I was recently given the opportunity to sneak preview Ro Van Saint and A.R. Braun’s upcoming collaborative short fiction project, Tales from the Abyss. Tales from the Abyss is scheduled to release on June 1st, and you can sign up for a free copy from their hooligans mailing list.

After receiving my e-copy last night, I settled into bed with my laptop and started reading. The collection contains four stories, two from each writer, with the first two being A.R. Braun’s. Braun has an interesting writing style, with some pretty intense descriptions. I enjoyed the second of his stories, “The Woman in Black,” a little more than the first, but both stories were good, short reads with a dark twist.

Ro Van Saint’s stories were both gripping, suspending me as a reader in an unreal place inhabited by bizarre, otherworldly conquerors. The people in the worlds she’s created are dark, strange, and interesting, making me want to read more from her in the future.

Overall, I give the collection 4 out of 5 stars, and definitely recommend you run over and sign up for the mailing list so you can get your own free copy.

Thanks to Ro and A.R. for letting me preview the collection. I’m looking forward to more from you two in the future.
