A Fantastic Collection This is the first thing that I have read by Mr. Wilson but since getting into the Bizarro genre I just can't get enough so I decided to pick this one up.There are tons of stories included and while some of them are only a few sentences or paragraphs each one is fantastically written.It's hard for me to pick a favorite but some of the ones I liked best are: Monster Truck, The Arrest, Cape Crusade, and Fathers
