Bob Boyczuk's short story collection

Toronto author and free software activist Robert Boyczuk's short story collection, "Horror Story and Other Horror Stories" has finally been published. Quill and Quire reviewed the 19-story collection, crediting Bob with "having a real knack for creepy, Twilight Zone-style atmospherics." The whole manuscript's up for free CC download as well, natch.

Horror Story and Other Horror Stories press release (Thanks, Brett!)

I'm excited to read it! I'm confused, though, by the press release's use of the phrase "turn of the screw" to mean a Twilight-Zone-style twist ending - is that common parlance these days? Not to be a snob, but I don't think it's how Henry James used it.

Sorry, I've just noticed that it's from a review, not the press release itself; you guys are off the hook :)

OT- Is that guy's name pronounced how I think it is?

Is it just me, or does that look like just like Max Payne (from the video game, not the lame movie)?
