Rating: 5/5

Snapshots by the author Eliot Parker is a collection of short stories. These stories are set in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. Some of the short stories from this book are Hands, Reckless, the Ten Pin, etc. My favourite story from the collection is Reckless. It is about Sheriff Jonas Holdren who was on the patrol and was drinking vodka.

Jonas has almost retired. He pressed the pedal of his truck and increased the speed thereby hitting a girl. When Jonas checked her pulse, he didn’t found any. The girl was dead. When Jonas went to the police station and reported about the incident to another officer Will, Will will go to secure the crime scene. Jonas didn’t told him that he has hit the girl. Will gonna find the truth about girl’s murder or something else will happen?

Language of these stories are medium. Cover photo is nice. The ending of these stories are really impressive. I have read many short stories earlier but Eliot’s writing is different. I enjoyed his anthology a lot. It is very well written. Those who love reading short stories shouldn’t miss to grab this one.
