From the author of the gripping international Amazon #1 Bestsellers 'Where the Dead Walk' and 'Vessel'. Experience 50 pages of spiiiiine-tingling supernatural terror and science fiiiiiction... THE STEAL - A thief is hired by a collector to acquire an occult aaaaaartefact... CRASH - A hard landing on an alien plaaaaaanet... COLLISION - A world changing incident at the Laaaaaarge Hadron Collider... THE FALL - A London gangster finds himself in a baaaaaad situation.... What Amazon verified purchasers are saying - - a wonderful and diverse collection of stories. The Steal, a terrifying heist-with-a-difference, Collide, a Wyndham-esque tale of potential global disaster and its effects on human society, Crash, a space story with a clever sting, and The Fall, Tarantino with a difference – vastly different subjects, told in very different styles, but always with wit, tension, and in every case a twist you won’t see coming. - Bowen's gift is in the execution. He takes spaceships and time-travel and gangsters and delivers us little nuggets of story that work so well. I left this small collection satisfied and with a grin on my face. Bowen is a funny, clever writer and he makes me smile. - These stories are creepy, funny, wondrous and scary, all at the same time. - This book contains 4 short stories: The Steal, Collide, Crash, and The Fall. All four are full of suspense and delicious tension. I am hard pressed to say which was my favorite in the collection as they were all worthy. - It almost doesn't matter which genre you're into – these stories will reach out and grab you. They'll suck you right in, and also make you laugh at the same time. - Eerie, dark and thoughtful, Cold Sweats and Vignettes is an awesome collection of short stories that chill your brain as well as your spine. Definitely recommended to fans of strange fiction and short stories. - intriguing characters in eerie situations, surprising revelations, and plot twists, they draw you in quickly and then leave you with a "wow" at the conclusion. - these shorts are like a short sharp punch to the ribs. They get their point across, they’re full of wallop, plenty of grit and depth. - you think you’re on a harmless trip through the woods to grandma’s house, but then….BAM!....the big, bad wolf jumps out from behind a tree and drags you down the rabbit hole into Narnia. - The stories are excellent and very original. I can't compare them with anything else I've read.

They'll suck you right in, and also make you laugh at the same time. Any one of them could easily be developed into a full-length novel, there is so much character and richness there. Do your best to have your e-reader be one that shows color graphics, because the magazine clips interspersed with the story "Collide" add so much to the news blurbs: it's all so real that you wonder if it's actually true and you just happened to be asleep for that week... As for the rest of the stories, there is a wink towards pulp fiction, a nod towards science-fiction, and a hearty handshake to all things suspenseful and paranormal. As I said, you can't not love these stories.

Locicero Having loved both of John Bowen's novels to date, I knew his short stories would definitely be worth checking out, and they are! Equally well-written, with intriguing characters in eerie situations, surprising revelations, and plot twists, they draw you in quickly and then leave you with a "wow" at the conclusion. These four stories are quick to read and enjoy! If you don't already know John's writing, they will definitely whet your appetite and, when they do, don't miss Where the Dead Walk and Vessel. It was my pleasure to read and recommend Cold Sweats and Vignettes, and I heartily recommend them.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A nice mix of SF and thriller short stories. By DabOfDarkness This book contains 4 short stories: The Steal, Collide, Crash, and The Fall. All four are full of suspense and delicious tension. I am hard pressed to say which was my favorite in the collection as they were all worthy. Perhaps Collide or Crash simply because I gravitate towards science fiction. My only small quibble is that there appear to be no females in any of the stories, though it is possible they are hidden in the story Crash (genders are not spelled out).The Steal – A thief is hired by a collector to acquire an occult artifact….Mortcombe hires Mr. Lucas Smith to steal something for him. Mortcombe is dying and greatly desires this thing before he departs this world. World class security for a world class vault: a solid challenge for Lucas. There is a singular item that Mortcombe has coveted for the last 30 years. Lucas will get that item for him, for a price. This was an excellent short story! It’s a little dark and mysterious. Couple that with Lucas’s practicality when it comes to thievery, and we have a most entertaining tale. The story switches back and forth from Lucas’s conversation with Mortcombe in a seedy bar to Lucas sneaking past security, into the vault, and then perusing the vault’s contents. It worked really well as we get to hear through Lucas how he did some background checks on Mortcombe and the man Lucas has been hired to steal from. The ending was rather unexpected, a little spooky, and a fitting end. 5/5 starsCollide – A world-changing incident at the Large Hadron Collider….This story is captured in news reports starting immediately after the event and spanning 4 years. Immediately, there are many deaths due to the explosion. As more info comes in, folks are trying to figure out how to deal with temporal abnormalities. Past and future have collided. Not just people have been temporally transplanted, but also animals and inanimate objects. Scientists and journalists bring up some great questions – communicable diseases? definite knowledge of events past and present and thier affect on the present? This short piece brought up several good points to mull over concerning the larger impact of time travel. 5/5Crash – A hard landing on an alien planet….Kul, Hue, and Ben are crashing on an uncharted planet. This little tale is told through Ben’s eyes. It’s Ben’s first jump and it has all gone wrong. Poor dude. The crash landing doesn’t leave him and the crew whole and hardy. Pretty quickly they and their ship are discovered by the local alien life. This story had a lovely little twist at the end that had me chuckling out loud. 5/5The Fall – A London gangster finds himself in a bad situation….In a boiler room, Eddy Flynn is tied to a chair. A single bulb glares above. A man, in a highly tailored expensive silk suit, wants a chat with Eddy. Now Eddy is a big shark in his world of London gangs. He’s earned a reputation for his violence. Yet Eddy knows he’s in a bad situation here. His best bet is to buy time (his men are looking for him, surely?) and try to bluff his way out of this. The assortment of tools on a nearby table don’t portend good things for Eddy. He talks a good game but will it be enough? I was sucked into this story quickly and I really wanted to know why Eddy was tied to that chair and who put him there! I almost wanted Eddy to make it out of this if I could just have those answers. The suspense was great! 5/5I received a copy of this audiobook at no cost from the narrator (via a post on GoodReads Audiobooks group) in exchange for an honest review.Narration: Phil Mayes did a really good job with this book. His voice was excellent for the hardboiled male roles and for all the suspense. I especially liked his voice for Lucas Smith in The Steal and for Eddy Flynn in The Fall. He had some great London accents for The Fall. In Collide, he did these wonderful fade outs for the news reports that trailed off. All around, an excellent performance for this book.
