Luney Tales Bill Bowyer 9781495299865 Books
The marvelous thing about anthologies which contain a multitude of short stories is that you don’t have to read the entire book straight through from beginning to end. You can devour each story at your leisure, skipping around through the book, each time selecting a short story whose title pops an interest in your mind; this is akin to looking for your next book to read from your local bookstore by reading the titles on the spines of the books on the shelve and then selecting your favorite before looking into what the book is about.The author’s selection for the title of this book is an apparent attention-getter as the word “luney” is usually spelled “looney”; the title also represents a simplified overall description for the kinds of stories this book contains, with each one having somewhat of a tinge of lunacy to them.
Each of the stories in the book are basically well-written and essentially concise, as it takes a certain knack in being able to have a relatively decent beginning, middle and end; which is what the author of this book apparently possesses.
The biggest distraction that the book has is the quintessential lack of a Table of Contents which prevents its readers, as I mentioned in the beginning of this review, from skipping around the various stories in the book, and thereby forces readers to read each story sequentially.
The author’s unfortunate lack of foresight in providing a table of contents precludes my having wanted to give Mr. Bowyer 5 STARS for his endeavor here, which is why I’ve given him 4 STARS.

Luney Tales Bill Bowyer 9781495299865 Books Reviews
As a collection of short stories, this book desperately needs a table of contents!
I almost stopped reading after the first two stories. I hated the first one. It's slow to get going, and the ending is jarring and repulsive. The second is better, but pretty predictable.
"The Ten Years" (page 42) is the third story, and it is one of the best short stories I've read in a long time!
"Roll Call" (page 119) is also great!
These two stories, along with the last three, Tales of the Future I, II, and III (page 193), make this book worth buying. The rest of the stories are like B-side tracks. You won't miss much if you skip them.
LUNEY TALES,by Bill Bowyer, is a delightful collection of the author's short stories. The Neighbors story took me back to living in a mixed ethnic neighborhood growing up. The stories are well developed and each has an interesting Twilight Zone flavor to challenge the imagination of the reader. Bowyer's three stories at the end ,titled TALES OF THE FUTURE [I], [II], and [III], take the reader into a diary of a government official presiding at the downfall of civilization.They are a compelling look at a realistic scenario.
LUNEY TALES is a very thoughtful read. From the opening page of The Sandbox story, to the closing pages of the Tales of the Future [III], one will find the collection hard to put down
