First Bite is the second volume of work by John Harrington Burns that I have read and thoroughly enjoyed. His dreamers, schemers, and thought-provoking situations keep your interest and have you analyzing your own feelings on the wide variety of topics covered in his work. His character development is extraordinary. I felt that I really knew and could visualize some of the people that I met in First Bite.

Mr. Harrington's, First Bite, is an intriquing collection of short stories I enjoyed reading very much. His writing style is very poetic in some cases and very much in the era the stories take place. I especially enjoyed Spider Moran and Madame Bey, and The Lucifer Chronicles.

John Harrington Burns returns! After he wrote HIDDEN TREASURES, he wrote FIRST BITE. More short stories, one year later. The man is compelled to tell his stories. I'm glad that he is.
You know my story. At age 36, I decided to dust off the old dream and draw on my experiences, and I whipped out four books. Burns waited until he was over 70 to begin, so it's no wonder he wrote more than one book and is still writing them.
In FIRST BITE, Burns stretches his limits yet again to create an eminently satisfying read. Moving stories of human tragedy and triumph. A fine sense of humor and a subtle wit. Ventures into the supernatural, science fiction and mythology. His story-telling hand grows surer with each book, and he's told me more are on the way. I'm not at all surprised, and I'm thrilled to hear it. He's a rising star in short story writing, and he only gets better with each book.
And, to carry on with what I said in my previous review, you'll find more ideas in these two short story collections than you'll find in the careers of many novelists. Burns can give you an entire world in a few broad strokes and then move on before the paint is dry.
