review 1: SURREAL ESTATE was laughably brief, and I think calling it a novella was a bit of a stretch, a deleted scene would have been more accurate IMO. Charming's been drugged which made his dream-like POV an interesting read, and James did a good job of fleshing out his black widow like Big Bad. I'm not sure how much of this tale happened inside of Charming's head vs. the actual reality, so that was a bit confusing. This was by far the biggest rip-off out of the five PAX ARCANA shorts, and should be skipped unless you are a die hard John fan.
review 2: "Surreal Estate" finds our Charming caught in a strange web after a search for a new home leaves him on guard. The somewhat shocking number of available properties is a sure sign that something fishy is going on and bef
... moreore long John is trapped in a literal house of horrors.It's been a while since I read the first three stories and I have loved them all but I do think that "Surreal Estate" might just be my favorite of these so far. A being with an unusual ability makes it hard for John to determine what's real and what isn't in this tale. It makes the whole thing that much more fun in my humble opinion! less

This was fun, and it has a proper ending. But there isn't enough story to merit the price tag.

This one was surreal indeed. Also: giant spider creature. *shudder* Still a fun story, though.

I thought the ending was a little odd. In some ways, it reminded me of Twin Peaks.

Good but not as good as the last one. Creepy but good.
