Eleven short stories from the darker side of human nature and imagination, spanning the genres of crime, mystery and the paranormal. Amazon Reviews from Volume One: "5.0 out of 5 stars - Genius!!! A Worthy Rival to Joyce Carole Oates, Roald Dahl and even Lovecraft ... I see echoes of early Stephen King in this author's writing. This set of tales is absolutely magnificent in all respects. A true talent who can take you easily, subtly yet rapidly into a parallel universe where the writing and storytelling are so strong, after reading each tale it feels like one's own memory. This author is a huge talent whose writing I shall continue to follow with avid interest." Rach Chippendale "5.0 out of 5 stars - Tales of the unexpected! This collection of short stories is prime Beverley Carter in that she can create a situation of which the reader cannot predict the ending. Each of these stories, some featuring rather unpleasant characters, has a twist in the tail and will leave you smiling, nodding and thinking, 'I didn't see that one coming!' I very much enjoy Beverley's style of writing and these 'tales of the unexpected' didn't disappoint me. Excellent!" Ignite TOP 500 REVIEWER "5.0 out of 5 stars - A Tale Twisting Delight! ...I'm in awe of Ms. Carter's talent ... sit back for some enjoyable, quirky, imaginative storytelling. It's a terrific ride."
