This is such a little collection of short stories. They are quick, but hold a nice punch!
Really descriptive and engaging. My favorite was the first story "Geeks Rule". It really sets the tone for the collection. Wonderful story telling all around. Each story has its own little twist to keep the reader on their toes.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Basil Sands, who is also the author. I am not usually for authors reading their own books, unless it is a biography. This is an exception, because the author just happens to be a talented narrator as well. Who better to understand the voices and emotions of his characters. He has a great pace and solid energy throughout. A few voices get a little too high, but that is me nit-picking. I would definitely look for more of his work!
Overall this is a great collection and I hope Mr Sands finds time to create more short stories.

Each story is so well done that it seems impossible that so much is encapsulated into short format! Each starts out a bit mundane until the twists, then it really gets you. Each ending is a vindication of the earlier stuff in the story. Can't wait to share it with my favorite geeks!
I think that the audio is best because it is narrated by the author, which is always a good thing, and also because he is a professional narrator with good voice qualities.

Interesting collection of short stories
A quick read with intriguing subjects that was entertaining. A little bit too much gratuitous violence makes it unsuitable for the younger reader but overall a very enjoyable read

Geeks Rule is the text based format of several of the stories that appeared in the audio only "In The Shadows". I had a really good time putting them together and hope you enjoy reading the action packed snippets as much as I did in the making.
