review 1: I really enjoyed this book. I had never heard of this author and I didn't really know what the book was about but it was free on Amazon so I grabbed it. I am so glad I did. You have to read the prologue for the book to really sink in but the theme is that a radio program asks for letters from its listeners to describe a secret or funny story about their life. Supposedly a lot of letters come in from a place called Uncanny Valley and these are their stories. The book is full of short stories that could stand alone but by being together, they hold each other up and make the book very interesting. There are some underlying themes and this book could be classified as horror but I think thriller best describes the bulk of the book. I had planned on reading just one story... more a day while I was reading other books but once I got started I couldn't quit. The author does a great job of describing the attitudes and actions of small town people so that made it seem even more real. At the conclusion of the book the author will throw you for a loop so hold on, you are in for a great ride.
review 2: This book without a doubt was a most enjoyable read for me. To say Uncanny Valley is a strange place is an understatement. Uncanny Valley contains corpses, invisible dogs, and sometimes extremely unusual happenings that just can’t be explained away. One moment you see something, the next, it’s gone. Most of the stories of Uncanny Valley are sure to leave you spooked and forever looking over your shoulder anytime you find yourself in the dark. There is even a story or two that will leave you with a warm feeling and a smile. Mr. Miller’s stories flow smoothly and are very well written. less
