Fourteen Tales

Fourteen Tales is a debut collection of short fiction that encompasses the realm of the paranormal and the psychological. Readers will find more than a gripping ghost story, but will encounter tales which draw forth the darker shades of human nature. A young man contends with an overbearing elderly woman, but encounters a dilemma much more ominous; a lone renter falls for a neighbor, but learns a story that seems impossible to believe, until the truth is revealed; a single mother caught in a power outage realizes the facts about her departed husband; a little boy spends an evening with the most unimaginable couple of kids; an old man discovers in the worst way, and with a little help, a pathway to immortality. This material is presented as a means to view introspectively the ways in which the supernatural collides with the tangible world, and the reactions and behaviors sure to ensue. Not without its moments of levity, the collection is a reader friendly text that applies skilled use of language to create simple worlds, but leads to the kind of reading certain to make one ponder before turning the lights out at night.
