I'm not typically a fan of short story collections. I don't know why, I'm just not. I can count on one hand the number of collections that I've enjoyed every story and that's typically what puts me off, there's, basically always, a clunker or two. Not here.

Scott Moses has put together a collection of 13 stories that I enjoyed from cover to cover. There was no story that made me want to put the book down and my favorite one of the bunch was the last, the titular Hunger Pangs, about one of my new favorite vampires. Other favorites include, What's in your Name, Adelaide and Nowhere, Louisiana but, honestly, there's nothing here that I didn't like. There are some that I liked much more than others but overall, Hunger Pangs is definitely a collection to check out.
