Summary: Good Stories
Comment: Impossible Places
Sometimes I don't like short stories a lot. By the time you are interested in the story it is over. Most of these stories are actually very good
Lay your head on my Pilose-Just a creepy story, full of murder and subtlty I wish this one had been longer
Diesel Dream-This is one my two favorite stories it tells the tale of a trucker on his way to fullfill one of his runs (at least on the surface).
Leathel Prespective-My other favorite story tells the story of monsters and their invisible war against human kind, it is very short but very good.
Fitting Time-A dearly departed friend of Elvis asks a tabloid editor to stop running stories about the rock star, it was O.K
We Three Kings-Monsters of legend learn the true meaning of Christmas, very funny
Empowered-Also very good ask the fundimental question "What if the Lawyers got the better of the Super Hero's
Sideshow-I had never read any of the Pip and Flinx adventures before I will have to now, this is really interesting
The only story I didn't like was "The Kiss" just a stupid and pointless story. The other stories I haven't mentioned I didn't read because they didn't capture my interest. Whoever most of the stories in this book were really good and I highly recommend

Summary: Entertaining short stories
Comment: Impossible Places is a collection of works that Foster has written from the start of the ninties to 2002 - most were originally published in magazines or other collections.
They all have two things in common: they are fantasy/SF "Outer Limits" type of stuff, and are located in far-flung places (hence "Impossible Places") from invented worlds to places that Foster has visited on holiday, like South America and outback Australia. I found the first story to be a little dull but the rest are quite enjoyable, and there is a Pip and Flinx story written just for the anthology.
There is also a comment from the author at the start of the book about why he writes short fiction, and a brief note at the start of each story explaining where the idea came from, where he was at the time of writing it, or just an insight into his personality.
