No! I love the Grimes stories! (Of course, I suppose I might be a bit dated, too.)

I'm still reading through some short stories, including the current Asimov's and Analog issues. But I can stop long enough to recommend Barnaby's Shorts (Volume One) by Barnaby Wilde -- free at Smashwords. It's self-pubbed, but I liked it. The stories all feature memorable, quirky characters, and they all have a twist at the end. Sometimes that twist goes clear over to left field and bounces into the Twilight Zone.

Now, I have some "library maintenance" to take care of, and then some more short stories to fit into my days.
