A Host of Shadows by Harry Shannon reviews

"Shannon, who has had a varied and interesting life, is currently putting his degree in psychology to good use as a counselor, and the 25 stories in this book mostly share a keen insight into the psyches of the sometimes unfortunate protagonists.  There’s never enough space in a review to discuss every story in a collection, but some of the standouts for me were “Blood and Burning Straw”, a story about a man haunted by the ghosts of his actions in Viet Nam, “Night Nurse”, about the horrors that await us in the medical system, and the World War II cannibalism story “And the Worm Shall Feed”.  All the stories are tightly constructed, and offer a mixture of chills and insight into the human condition."
