Dark and Light: A Small
Collection of Poetry includes five poems written by K.W. McCabe. The tiny
collection of poems contains a beautiful flow. McCabe eloquently describes the
transformation of caterpillar into butterfly and the movement of mysterious sea
creatures while also peeking into the darkness of life. This collection has
great balance.

Dreams
Both Real and Strange I and II is an anthology pack of short
stories by K.W. McCabe. Some of the stories are elaborate while others are
super short. I was drawn to the darkness of each short story. The subject
matter, while dark, ranged from death, afterlife, choices, grief, remorse, and
sadness. I enjoyed the variety of characters and how each story carried itself
while sharing the same mood overall. K.W. McCabe gives us magic, mystery, and
suspense. I could have easily read an entire book of the tales, Choices and Wraith.
The extra short story, Fairy Foibles is the only story I did
not find satisfying. I found it to be less serious than the other stories,
making it seem out of place in the anthology.
The anthology ends with a
preview of McCabe’s upcoming novel, The
Dragon’s Call. It definitely grabbed my attention, and I eagerly await
its release.
I found K.W. McCabe's dark writing to be enjoyable and I think fans of the paranormal and supernatural will as well. You won't find a frog prince in these fantasy stories.

You got your "frog prince" in neatly there at the end.
Both books sounds interesting. Thanks for the review.
