Afterlife and Other Stories
by Ed Krizek
ISBN-10: 1413440029
Review by Heather Froeschl
Ed Krizek offers an interesting collection of short stories. Written over a period of fifteen years, the topics cover a vast array of human emotions. From accepting the death of a loved one, to dealing with messages of impending doom from telemarketers, Krizek demonstrates that no topic is sacred when it comes to a work of fiction.
The author shows promise in descriptive writing. Typos and punctuation errors can be overlooked when experiencing the joy of being lost in a good story. Generally, collections of short stories relate to one another in a very obvious way. Krizek's assortment doesn't, but the basic theme of life's emotions runs throughout the book.
College romances, life changes, meeting goals, getting mugged, aliens running motels, winning the lottery...all of these tales are told and more. They are stories most people can relate to in one way or another, whether you laugh or cry over them is up to you.
A quick, yet sometimes deep read is waiting...
