Produktbeschreibung
These fourteen original stories are literary windows into the lives of people who find themselves facing the unexpected, the crazy, and even the paranormal. With diverse personalities and vivid details, this potpourri of dense, unpredictable plots is sure to entertain: * "Tipped"-a man learns that his birth certificate bears a surprising truth, and a perfectly legal, disorienting fabrication. * "Invisibility"-an atheist dies and is challenged by the unanticipated reality of an afterlife. * "Ready, Aim, Shoot"-a photographer meets her long-lost grandmother, who immediately and publicly accuses her of theft. * "Rodent Love"-while on honeymoon, a bride discovers that her groom's passion for a theme park puts his love for her in the shade. * "Regret"-a demon has an experience that causes it to question its dark role in the world. These thought-provoking stories and much more tether the reader with subtle, twisting layers that induce careful rereading. Fourteen and a Quarter: Coined Fiction is an edgy, yet clean musing on classic virtues such as prudence, chastity, and sobriety, and illustrates the eternal constitution of the human spirit.
