Fascinating stories with an interesting twist

I loved Brownstein's take on some classics--they were fresh and imaginative.

Nice Place to Visit, Wouldn't Want to Live There...

New York for Gabriel Brownstein is full of some very odd characters, and he renders each of them awfully well, but I'm very glad that I don't have to live with his particular cast and crew. Too creepy! Too bizarre. But the writing sings, it jumps, it keeps you reading, and what more can you ask from that hardest of forms, the short story cycle? "The Bachelor Party" is chilling, and "A Penal Colony All His Own, 11E" does a masterful job taking on the impossibility of certain kinds of friendship. But that sounds pedantic...who cares what I thought it was about? The question is, what will you, gentle reader, make of these magical, unfettered tales?
