Wow. I didn't think I was going to like this one, but like the subtle way in which it is told, this story kind of crept on me. I liked the whole odd mix of old western language with ghostly horror and contemporary technology -- which lent a strange post-apocalyptic feel to it. Hard to classify but interesting. Beautifully written.

This one is all about style. That's what sets it apart. A good story, sure, but in a different setting it would read very flat and typical.

I liked it. Not a whacked-over-the-head like, but a sneaky like. I like how it ended. That caught me off guard.

I loved this one too. Very vividly written, and for me it was a different take on a ghost story.
