Another short story collection from Art Weil, Going Up centers on stories told by an old-style department store security guard. The 19 humorous stories range from horror to science fiction to fantasy and back again. Each story is brilliantly told, expertly edited, without a hint of wasted motion on the part of the author. If someone had told me I would enjoy this more than Mr. Weil’s “Tales from the Land of Whence” I would have had my doubts, and be soundly proven wrong. Unlike many short story collections, every entry is strong on its own.
I rate this a solid 5 on the FCP standard scale. FMP: $4.99
