Welcome. Today's book selection is a collection of short stories by author Dmytry Karpov entitled Dark Edge. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I initially started reading but I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.
The book starts off perfectly with what ended up being my favorite story of the book, a story about a man about to commit suicide entitled "Dark Edge". I won't ruin the "why" he's decided to commit suicide but I will say that the ending was EXCEPTIONAL and completely threw me for a loop.
The unexpected is a good theme of the book as very few of the stories end like you think they will. You'll have it in your mind that one thing is going to happen and then you're completely hit over the head with something else. Even at the few times where something does end up like you thought it would, as it did in another one of my faves, a story named "Heart Shaped Gift," it's still an enjoyable ride.
All in all the book is a very solid piece of work and definitely will be worth your time. While reading the stories reminded me of something you would see on "The Twilight Zone" so, if you liked that show, you will love this book.
