Reader's Favorite (Five Star Review)
"An inventive and sometimes disturbing collection of stories,
Mr Forward & Other Tails of Loss
by Eric Herkert is a surreal plunge into the bizarre connections of ordinary lives. An innocent family's cursed day of the week, disappearing doctor's offices, a devilish puppeteer of mischief and murder, and the secret schemes of cats - homicidal, telepathic, and otherwise - make this a wild and genre-bending web of off-kilter storytelling. Exploring the casual desperation of solitude and the lingering effects of loss, this neatly curated collection is alternately profound and chilling, for a wholly original work of literary short fiction." -Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
