Long Story Short: Heroes and Monsters (Book Review)
Title: Long Story Short: Heroes and Monsters by Eric Mead
Long Story Short: Heroes and Monsters by Eric Mead reminded me of the Animatrix series for some reason with a little of the short story charm you get from a Bram Stoker classic. The book takes the heroes and monster that are have been played to boredom and reinventing them in new ways. The book covers three distinct short stories (two about aliens and one about vampires). All of them were good and all of them went in a different direction than other alien and vampire stories went. My favorite, by far, was “Serrasalmo”. First off, that’s just a cool name. Second, the plot was based on a unique take on good and evil that kept me reading. I knew good would win in the end, but I wanted to see how. The third short story takes that issue and turns it on its head. Essentially, the plot goes around one question: At which point does heroism become revenge (or just leave you crazy?) The first short story was good as well, even though I felt more could have been added to the plot to make it a more engaging story.
Overall, a good read if you’ve had a tired day and just want a short story to get away for a few minutes. The stories will make you re-think how you view monster and hero stories in the future.
Favorite Story: “Serrasalmo”
Review Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Publication Year: 2013
Number of Pages: (42 pages); One hour read

About the Book & Authors
Eric Mead is the author of several short works in horror and monster works including “Zombie Messiah: The Mindful Mindless Killing Machine” and “Coffins and Cocoons“. He is an avid supporter of the Wayne Foundation (http://waynefdn.org/), an organization that seeks to stop human trafficking. When he is not reinventing the horror literary scene, he can be found on his guitar. For earlier reviews I have done for his book “Zombie Messiah”, click here and for his interview, click here.

At every writers conference or self-publishing panel the question that almost always inevitably comes up is: “How much will self-publishing really cost me?”
Because the book publishing industry is one of the last industries to go digital, it’s going through a quick transition. As a result of this shift, authors no longer need to go through the traditional gatekeepers to publish high-quality books and are instead moving toward self-publishing. Launching a book is like launching a startup.
