Terrie Moran has a lovely way with words that adds a rich emotional subject layer to her stories. These seven tales are all quite different in theme and plot, yet united in their ability to draw you into their world, be it through the eyes of vengeful banshee in THE AWARENESS or the travails of a horserace-fixer who's pulled into a fiendish plot in the noir tale WHEN A BRIGHT STAR FADES (which received a well-earned nod as a "distinguished mystery of 2008"). Terrie also sneaks in plenty of sly humor to balance out the dark-edges, making these stories a pleasure to read.
