5.0 out of 5 stars Is it a novel or a book of short fiction? BOTH!, Dec 10 2000
By Peter Harrison (TAMPA EFF ELL A) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEAD LINES (Mass Market Paperback)
Ah, yes, Skipp and Spector, where are they now when we need them the most? This was the fourth of their six collaborations, and as usual, it is definitely fantastic! In essence, it is a book of short stories intertwined with a framing/interlude device. The stories and the framing device are brilliantly horrifying, insightful, and at times, even bittersweet. FIND THIS BOOK AND READ IT! That goes for all of their work: The Light At The End. The Cleanup, The Scream, Dead Lines, The Bridge, and their last, but not least work, Animals. CHEERS! PJH

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth reading for the short stories, Jan 22 2000
By Lon Miller (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DEAD LINES (Mass Market Paperback)
NYC: A self-pitying writer hangs himself in the opening scene. Some months later, a young lady moves into his apartment and discovers his collection of stories, which are reprinted in the book. He's, you know, around and he gets interested in her as a way back into the world he so casually left behind. Some of those stories (especially the one about the Halloween when the Old Ones got tired of humans not taking their day seriously enough) haunt me to this day, and I read this book _years_ ago.

Skipp and Spector never got enough credit for the power and viscerality of their writing. Read anything you can find that was written by them (except maybe for "Animals", that one wasn't so good).

4.0 out of 5 stars blurs the line between short story and novel, Dec 23 1998
This review is from: DEAD LINES (Mass Market Paperback)
If you can get a hold of it, read it. After taking over a loft, the new owners discover a box of unpublished short stories. Each is wonderfully written, and could stand alone, but the power of the novel is in how the main characters become drawn in to and addicted to the short stories, even as their lives become horribly altered by reading them. As will yours be.
