Publisher's Summary
An International Fiction Award-winner, Different Kinds of Dead displays Ed Gorman's talents as a masterful storyteller. This collection offers the murder-themed dark tales "Different Kinds of Dead", in which a lonely car salesman learns life lessons from a dead woman sitting shotgun in his car; "Deathman", about a killer who enjoys juicy steaks prior to murdering his victims; and "A Girl Like You", about a misunderstood teenage boy who endures a fleeting and painful romance with a ghost.
Gorman also touches on futuristic fiction, as "Loverboy" offers a peek into a marriage strained by a husband's addiction to cyber-sex parlors and holographic women. His protagonists, gritty and gruff, are strangely likeable, and his writing, according to Mystery News, is "powerful, disturbing and often poetic."

"OK thrillers"
These are ok. They are better than some "thriller" writers that I've read. I have to say I'm not a big fan of Rudnicki's narration, as I've stated elsewhere he seems to be a little too proud of his deep voice and reads too ponderously for me, as if he wants to emphasize his voice even more and I wish he was more fleet of foot with his narration. The others were fine as far as I recall. The last couple stories may be the best. A little Stephen King-ish at times, which is not a good thing, in my opinion; and like King I think there is an urge to be prolific, getting a story out, instead of working hard on the style and plot. Overall a good mixture of story types, mainly "suspense", a little supernatural tossed in.
