Description
The stories in this collection are all character driven. From the cat snatching neighbor in the short, short story, “The Catnapper” (250 words) to the delightfully long, short story of Crud (official name is Darnibus Silius Crudicum called Crud for short.) In A Deep Forest (9000 words). Some stories are heartwarming others funny but all are thought provoking. In two of the stories, “A Closet Writer” and “Hey, I Have Cancer” the author shares his own personal experience as a struggling writer and cancer survivor. The last pages of the book are devoted to a writing exercise called “Alphabet Stories.” The author spent a few months going through the alphabet, choosing a word for each letter, and writing a short (under 600 words) story for each of them. From A, “Anticipation” to Z, “Zealot,” the author demonstrates his versatile and fertile imagination as a compelling storyteller.
