A collection of four extraordinary stories, not one of which travels a predictable route.

On a weekend jaunt with her parents, a 15-year-old girl shoplifts from the wrong souvenir shop. The consequences aren’t immediate, but a disconcerted Frankie Spitz soon discovers how overpowering an unexpected punishment can be.

Marleen lives an isolated existence except for work and her best friend. “Little Sister” follows a day in Marleen’s life, as revelations surface and things that seemed obvious at the start begin to blur.

A glimmer appears in the center of a boy’s bedroom, not quite a ghost, not quite ANYthing that Tommy can name. Except that he knows it’s a girl, and that she’s trying her best to communicate with him. In “Catching Lisette”, Tommy chases explanations for his phantom visitor, never anticipating the beguiling answers to his questions.

The fourth tale in this 22,000-word collection is “Photo Finish.” Rosalie Turner’s about to field the biggest curveball life’s ever thrown at her! Mysterious strangers are showing up in her photographs; are the reasons for this rooted in her past? In the Bad Thing that Rosalie never meant to do 19 years before? Or is there a simpler explanation? Rosalie, along with her daughter Jenna, tries to massage clarity out of an enigma, and ends up exploring not only her past, but also her present life. Events conspire to overtake her speculations, though, and Rosalie ends up understanding all too much.

A fabulous read with well-drawn characters and plots. These are four thrilling stories!

5,0 su 5 stelle Loved the three more not quite straightforward tales

Don’t miss the book, the writing is beautiful if not surreal. Loved it and would surely love to read some of the authors work. Do continue writing you are gifted with your imagination and craft.

While Souvenir was an interesting read, I simply loved the others. They didn’t necessarily have a conclusion and left a lot for the reader to decipher which I was personally appreciative off. I would recommend this quick read to those who enjoy short stories.

The book is also well edited and layered out. I could internalise the philosophy and self reflections that the stories outlined.

Well done. Continue the good work.

5,0 su 5 stelle Exciting tales!!!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 dicembre 2012

I found these stories to be fast-moving, interesting, and quite suspenseful! It's hard to choose a favorite because they were all so fascinating and enjoyable! These are the perfect stories for reading at night, coupled with a hot cup of cocoa... but just be careful if you're reading them alone because they do get a little spooky at times (not that, um, I was scared, of course...)!

I love how the stories in this collection all have an eerie theme to them but each one of them is completely unique! I would recommend this set for any age group (except maybe infants because they just won't appreciate it as much but it's not their fault).

Overall, excellent writing and fun to read!

She was pretty, but in a temporal sort of way. First story did rather remind me of a Twilight Zone episode so author most definitely can catch the spirit of that tv show. Not only are the tales creepily interesting but I found all the characters well-developed for that matter. I did find that the best tale "Photo Finish" was saved for last, not that you couldn't read them in any order you choose from the handy link in the table of contents. Something about the passage "Sorry, Mom. But God, that's just eerie! I mean, every picture? No way that's coincidence!" set my skin to crawling. Well done!

I enjoyed these stories. In my opinion, they were written and put together well. All the stories were thought out nicely, and each was cohesive and left nothing to question. Of all the stories, I liked "Little Sister," the most. I thought it was a particularly interesting idea.

I did have have two "issues" with the stories, although these are nit-picky and should be taken as my opinion, not an accurate assessment of the works. For me, the endings were a bit predictable. I can't, however, say this will be the case for everyone. I tend to enjoy dark and speculative fiction as well as the horror and science fiction genres, but for those not usually fans of the the more "extreme" contained within those categories, I believe you may be surprised by the endings and enjoy the stories quite a bit. Also, I thought the dialogue in the female voice(s) was a bit off; I am NOT someone who believes that an author shouldn't write from the perspective of the opposite gender, in fact, many authors do this very successfully. I wouldn't say that Daniel Kelley didn't pull it off, but I couldn't help but see the influences of a man's take on a woman, and possibly a bit of stereotypical views, on the dialogue. The male voice(s) was excellent!

All that being said, I did enjoy the collection of stories and thought they were well-done.

5,0 su 5 stelle UNIQUE AND DELIGHTFUL

I love discovering 'new' writers and Daniel Kelley has a distinctive style that really appeals to me. This collection of four short stories were very Twilight Zone-ish to me (and that's a good thing!) and I enjoyed the way each story unfolded. The characters are exceptionally well defined and the descriptions are excellent. I was reminded of Stephen King's writing in some of his more subtle works (and again- that's a very good thing!)

Each story is unique and yet they complement each other very well. I have a feeling there are some parts of the stories that individual people will interpret differently; the stories make one think.

I look forward to reading more of Daniel Kelley's work!
