I loved this collection of short stories. It was very well done and very original. I am going to be reading more books from Michael Brookes!The first story, Prison Without Walls, was my favorite. It was about a man is in jail for a murder and while he is in jail, he decides that he is really a murderer! It was not a one time deal. So based on his personal and medical information, the jail sets him up with a program, run by a doctor, that is very hush hush. If Mr. Williams (our murderer) agrees to take part in a series of tests, he could get early parole almost definitely. So we follow the bits and pieces of information about the tests that Dr. Marsh gives Mr. Wiliams and try to figure out what is going on, what the purpose of the tests are for. And we do find out. And it is incredible. But the best part about this story is the ending. The story itself was amazing, but the ending was TOTALLY unexpected and a great choice.
The second story. The Tapestry, is a bit of a fantasy piece. The basis of the story is that there are three woman, sisters, called The Guardians, that work on a loom or as it is known The Great Loom, which is the whole of humanity and their preset destiny. All of the strings on the loom represent every living person. The different threads get made, inter-connected, and sniped. One day The Watcher comes to visit, based upon some information he found in a box about The Loom from his father, grandfather, etc. This information sends him in search of The Guardians. The Guardians have worked diligently to protect their secret over many, many years. I cannot say to much without adding a spoiler which I do not like doing, but the Watcher, in his search for knowledge, gets the surprise of his life!
The third story, Ghost in the Cloud, just has to be read. It is really creepy and will leave you wondering what happened?! And why?
The fourth story, In The Depths, was also a very creepy story. A horror/mystery. The way it was written, as a communication between four men, was very effective in making it very tense and urgent. These four men appear to be in the military and are on a mission. The story starts out with them trying to leave the place they are at, but they cannot, but not for lack of trying. Through very effective story telling by way of making this a four-way connection over what is probably walkie-talkies, just adds to the suspense and chills. The men need to get out of where they are and Sarge is doing his best he can to adapt to the situation at hand and lead his men out of the place they are in. The ending is so crazy and makes you want more. A sequel at least!
And the fifth and final story is called Not Welcome at the Gate. What do you do if you are an recently exorcised demon and not allowed into Heaven - or Hell? You leave leave Heaven so that you go to Hell, where you are familiar with, and Hell kicks you back to Heaven! St. Peter wants to bring you in but a rather large angel name Uriel will not allow it. He believes you are not worthy and will stop at nothing to keep you from entering Heaven. So how do you, or can you, outsmart an angel?
Again, a fantastic collection of short stories that you will not be sorry you read.

An Odder Quintet edition by Michael Brookes Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Sometimes it is fun to just pick up a few short stories to enjoy rather than dive into the depths of longer novels. Michael Brookes' collection is a sort-of continuation to his previous short story collection, as two of the short stories included continue the stories from the previous work. All of the stories are very different from each other and offer a refreshening selection of what I call 'weird tales'. I especially liked 'Not Welcome at the Gate', which allowed us to see what happened to Morlock the Demon after he had been trapped inside a human body.
This is an excellent collection of stories. There was not one I didn't enjoy, although my favourite was In the Depths which is written in the same style as Forced Entry from An Odd Quartet. I actually enjoyed this one more than the first story. All of the collection are different and I think that shows how versatile the author is.
If you enjoy Twilight Zone tales with a creepy edge then this is for you.
This is a selection of 5 slightly abnormal stories. As with the author's other books and short stories, his twisted mind shows. Whilst not X-rated, they have a creepy, tenseness to them.
In saying they are short stories, they have a meatiness to them.
I liked the first story the best. An evil prisoner enters an experiment that would be hell for most people. All the stories are very enjoyable. The fourth one is similar to one in the first collection and is just the radio talk of a group of soldiers stuck inside a house that isn't what it seems. Whilst not my favourite, the tension was certainly ramped up with each call.
A decent collection indeed.
This collection of five bizarre tales from Michael Brookes strikes me as an even stronger collection of tales than 'An Odd Quartet'. The author excels in imaginative writing that deals with the intangible. His stories often handle the supernatural and the interface between life and death, yet the urgent and compelling nature of the writing makes it seem real enough.
I enjoyed all five stories, none of which led to where I expected. Quite often the good and the bad are blurred so you never quite know what will happen and who will come out on top. Occasionally an ending didn't satisfy as much as I'd have liked, although this may just be me wanting more of a story I'd been enjoying. You don't have to have read the previous collection (An Odd Quartet) but it does help to give a bit of background to the final two stories which follow on.
The author's writing is always readable and gripping and I could happily read more of these unusual short stories. They don't take terribly long to read, but you will come away feeling as though you've been transported to a different world. Creepy, menacing and deliciously dark.
