Beasts Within
by Clive Gilson
Description
Do you love the dark heart of story-telling? Do you love magical tales with an edge?
In this collection of short stories you'll meet the Gambling Man and wonder why your soul feels as though its been yanked from its moorings...
...the Countess and the Mechanic will make you look again at things spectral that you thought you already knew...
...and then there's the Marchese, once a friend of the infamous Cesare Borgia and still going strong in the twenty-first Century.
Beasts Within continues Clive's development of tales rooted in the darkly fantastic hearts of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson, introducing new characters and new twists to themes that Clive has written successfully about for many years now.

Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 10, 2012 of Nine Lives: Creepy short story about greed, and plotting against elderly "relatives". Well written, I liked this one alot. Thanks for the free read! Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 10, 2012 of Lord of the North Wind: OMG!!! I can't ever remember reading a short story and wanting it to go on and on more than this one! While it's a bit wordy, I enjoyed it very much. This is a great short story, packed with more imagery than most stories twice or three times this length. Thanks for the free read! Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 10, 2012 of Fancy and the Flutter: Unique, interesting and scary, especially if you value your immortal soul. I've found that most of the descriptions for Clive Gilsons stories don't tell you what the story you're about to read is really about. Sometimes thats good, othertimes maybe not. Like this story, I would not have downloaded it based on the title and description, but I am enthralled with the way he writes. This is another great short story, one I'm so glad I read. Thanks for the free read! Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 10, 2012 of The Beast Within: The imagery created by the first sentence of this short story absolutely grossed me out to the point that I hesitated to read on. I am so glad I did. This is a heartbreaking story, one I will never forget. I can't wait to read "Songs of Bliss" a full length novel by this author. Thanks for the free read! Awesome short story! Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 09, 2012 of The Tender Kiss: Great story, I loved this one. Even though you just knew it was going to end badly for the guy (or maybe not!?) I just had to find out! Very well written. Thanks for the free read. Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 10, 2012 of Ragtrade Gepetto: Very well written short story. I didn't like this near as well as most of his other stories, mostly because I didn't like the ending. Still a great story. Thanks for the free read. Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 11, 2012 of The Marchese's Gift: Well written intriguing story, but made my skin crawl a bit. Definitely worth reading. Thanks for the free read! Review by: C.J. Schmidt on Sep. 11, 2012 of The Mechanic's Curse: Great imaginative short story, very well written. Thanks for the free read!
