Fortuna spins her wheel, lives hang in the balance. The characters within these seven tales of murder and mayhem commit acts of foolish pride and bloody revenge, and will soon learn even the most well laid plans collapse at the whims of Rota Fortunae. In Silhouette of Darkness, George Wilhite has brought together a group of twelve short stories, all written in a dark, modern, and intriguing tone. For me, this collection was Stephen King meets Quentin Tarantino. I believe that Mr. Wilhite is a talented author in a genre that seemed to be dying out. Thankfully, weird fiction is on the resurgence. George Wilhite is a writer that makes a much-needed contribution to this genre, giving us weird fiction/neo-pulp fiction fans something to sink our teeth into that brings to mind that lost age of fiction. --Bitten By Books
