Out-Of-Mind Experiences: Thirteen Tales (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

These thirteen offbeat tales encompass an array of genres from Horror and Fantasy to Science Fiction, Historic, and Mythic under one roof. Their common theme, out-of-mind experiences, covers the macabre as easily as it applies to the spiritual or the mentally unbalanced, anger or madness. However, there is nothing common about these tales. 1. UNLEASHED: TAIL ONE There's a saying: Be careful what you say and do, because little eyes are watching you! Would the tormented pet of a psycho, after witnessing countless abominations, begin to exhibit disturbing behavior? Find out in this comical crime spree. 2. BEYOND THE STUMP The dark harrowing tale of a young woman who must assume her mother's role of Gatekeeper. 3. BEDEVILED A trail of madness featuring a parasitic ear sprite that causes folks to go berserk and the likable loons who try to halt his wacky head trip. 4. HAUNTED BY HITLER This fable solves some historic question marks by depicting a fanciful meeting between an infamous ghost and Rudolph Hess at Spandau Prison. 5. THE MYTH OF THE MAYAN This whimsical fantasy posits a cultural exchange between a traveling Mayan merchant and a member of The Kumeyaay Tribe in California, leading to the spread of knowledge. Take a journey through time when fact and folklore merge to rewrite history. 6. PLAYING THE GAME A school soccer match becomes a life-or-death struggle. 7. TERROR A man suspected of terrorist activities learns the meaning of fear when targeted by a serial killer. 8. NUANCE A humorously poignant Cinderfella tale about a spooky carnival and a misfit who discovers the truth behind his sorry circumstances. 9. THE END CHROMOSOME Thought-provoking science fiction about a potential genetic timebomb which could threaten the human race. 10. PENNED A much-rejected unknown author goes off the deep end when she's sucked inside her computer by the terror within. 11. CAUSE AND EFFECT The result of a Rube-Goldbergian nonstop chain of events. 12. BAD MOOD A quirky blend of humor, horror, and sci-fi myth-adventure when a mysterious mental illness affects dairy cows in a small Wisconsin town. 13. THE THIRTEENTH TALE Have you ever read a story you couldn't put down? This is one those tales . . . A "gripping" account of literature that becomes too literal. What is an Author's Draft? It is an original concept devised by Lori R. Lopez. Much like a Director's Cut in film, it is the author's true voice, the author's pure and untampered vision!
