Del Howison
Along with being a writer Del Howison is a former photo journalist and gas station pump jockey, who is currently an editor, an actor in "C" horror movies, co-owner and operator of Dark Delicacies (America's only all-horror book and gift store) and a trustee on the board of the Horror Writers Association. He also kisses his dogs on the lips. Basically he is a jerk of all trades and master of none. |
| From Midnight Walk's reviews: |
| "Dark Delicacies owner Del Howison makes quite an impression with "Alley Oops," a story of a kindly old woman and the thug who dares rob her, primarily for its gut-punch ending." |
| Bookgasm |
| "Del Howison's Alley Oops is a cute, well told story with an unexpected twist in the tail, featuring an old lady and a bag-snatcher." |
| Bookgeeks |
| "Del Howison's "Alley Oops" is a solid, affecting tale of an old woman pursued by a killer..." |
| Creature Feature Tomb of Horror |
| ""Alley Oops" by Del Howison is one of those characters-on-a-collision-course stories in which good and evil are headed straight for one another. With its ripped-from-the-headlines brutality coupled with an ending you won't see coming, Howison capably turns this simple story of petty crime into an ending of jaw-dropping irony." |
