Gritty Tales by Tyler Mathis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We certainly get crime, mayhem and terror in this collection of 13 short stories. In the authors own words, gritty tales are: “Simply put, it is a story of harsh and uncompromising realism, the fiction of friction between characters driven by their very basest motives”. Bank robberies, Hustlers, psycho authors and so on are all contained in this book. There is something for everyone. I was not expecting humor, not to say these are comedies, but if you can understand some black humor, and dry wit, you will be snickering to yourself along the way.
Most of these are really stand out stories that could do well if fleshed out into their own books. I think the author should consider that. The story I picked this one up for was the one about the author who abducts his own fans. I really got a kick out of that story, and I really do feel that it was worth it.
