I finished Infinite Waters by Nicholas Rossis recently, and this collection of ten short stories is enjoyable. The stories look at reality in a different way, and one of the stories explores what happens when a dream crosses over into reality.
The narrator meets a woman who wants inspiration for her writing, and the stories that follow are the result. I like how many of the characters don’t have names; this leaves a lot to the reader’s imagination. There are references to Greek gods, the Titanic, Star Trek, James Bond and Frankenstein. The twists on the various references are imaginative. I certainly see James Bond in a different light now. While there is an element of creepiness in some of the stories, there are amusing moments also.
The stories are all well-written, but my favorites are James’ Life, What’s In a Name, Is There a Doctor in the House and Two’s a Crowd. Infinite Waters is well worth checking out.
