My Opinion
Beyond The Veil by Flame Tree Press is written by some of the renowned authors, but the book didn't lived up to my expectations. Some of the stories like Provenance Pond, The God Bag, Arnie's Ashes, A Mystery For Julie Chu and Nurse Varden were really good and my favorites. But, the other were either average or below average. I would recommend this book only for a one time read. The book deserves only 3 stars and I didn't like the cover also.
Narrative Style
Some of the stories in the book Beyond The Veil really have that creepy vibe. But, some are literally confusing. Some of the stories were too short with an abrupt ending. At the end, I was just thinking that what happened next, and, the story ended.
