a sample-platter of Simmons
By Kevin N. Alexander
Dan Simmons is known to write some very heavy books. Which makes it all the more fascinating to read this, a collection of his short works. For someone who might not be familiar with his writing, this anthology is a mostly excellent place to start, and gives you an idea of the broad style and genres this author works in.
I won't give a breakdown of all the stories. Suffice to say they compliment his novels very well, and in many cases are direct starting points for his books. Inside this collection you will find a Horror, Sci Fi and a hint of the fantastic. They don't all click (as tends to happen in collections you will enjoy some more than others), but they are all uniformly creative, and do not generally repeat themselves (Although I suppose the inclusion of 2 tales of Evangelism, although different, may qualify as a repeat to some).
I was reminded a little of Clive Barker's Books of Blood, which also shows a wide variety of imaginative scenarios, and many references to classical literature.
I would easily recommend this collection to fans of short stories, if nothing else because they are all unique and far removed from the formulaic 'twilight zone episode' stories that often constitute short stories. Simmons almost always paints on a large canvas, and his short stories are no exception. Not every story is perfect, but what is rare about this anthology is that Simmons uses the short story in so many varieties of application that you can't help but be impressed with the man's talent. Very entertaining.

early work from a great writer
By Kit T.
One of Dan Simmons' early collections. Many of these stories were expanded into novels or became inspiration for later works. Even from his early work, this shows Simmons to be a great writer. Overall grade: B+
"The River Styx Runs Upstream." Perhaps someday soon there will be a cure for death. But will there still be a cost? A-
"Eyes I Dare Not Meet in Dreams." A melancholy tale about the death of a wife and the struggles of the husband--with a SF twist--because they're both highly telepathic. Delves into philosophy of mind and what is this thing we call "self." Simmons expanded this story into a novel called The Hollow Man. If you read only one thing by Dan Simmons, that is the novel to read. Forget this collection, or buy the novel in addition to. It is that good. The story is great, but the novel goes into so much more depth than the story ever could. Story rating: B+ The Hollow Man rating (in case you haven't guessed): A+
"Vanni Fucci is Alive and Well and Living in Hell." A hilarious look at the hypocrisy of televangelism. A
"Vexed to Nightmare by a Rocking Cradle." A much darker piece about religion. Yet, it didn't grab me. C
"Remembering Siri." What can I say? I'm a sucker for the story where two lovers age at different timescales. This story makes an appearance again in Simmons' novel/frame-story collection Hyperion. B+
"Metastasis." Dan, Dan, Dan, you disappoint me. Cancer vampires? Really? How clich�d. There was this one science fiction anthology episode about cancer vampires...oh, wait, then I read the introduction to the story--actually developed into a teleplay for a SF anthology episode about cancer vampires. B+
"The Offering." That teleplay about cancer vampires. It's interesting to see the changes Simmons made in adapting the story to TV. Like so many things, it loses something when going from the page to the screen, even if it's the same author's hand. I think it lost some of the character's motivation; that's probably due to time constraints with the medium. However, as I remember the episode, it really stood out as a unique "What if?..." Teleplay: B- TV Episode (as I remember it from the cobwebs of time, in the anthology series Monsters) B+
"E-Ticket to `Namland." What if the Vietnam War became a futuristic theme park? A story dark because people would go and pay that and willingly live the "adventure" (horror) of that war and think it was "fun" or even "therapeutic." But, things could go wrong....A
"Iverson's Pits." An old man reliving a dark chapter from his much younger self. Civil War horrors seek vengeance upon an incompetent commander. B
"Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits." You know that barbershop that charges too little and gives bad haircuts and nobody goes there? What goes on in there? Read and find out. A story good as much from its structure as from its content. B+
"The Death of the Centaur." A story-within-a-story. The frame story is about a young teacher and the relationships he develops among his kids and the science fantasy story he tells one school year. The story-within-a-story is that science fantasy tale, from which the author develops much of his Hyperion universe. Both stories are about loss--loss of innocence, loss of friends, but most of all loss of the nostalgic past we all wish we had (and never realized it was lost until we can look back). It is a metaphorical as much as actual death in which the title refers and this is one of the best stories in this collection. A
"Two Minutes Forty-Five Seconds." Felt like it was written to order (which it was). An in memoriam to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. C
"Carrion Comfort." The third story featuring some kind of vampire. Not cancer or blood--this time it's mind vampires. Short story was later expanded into his first novel. A-
