Fantasy Tales – Ebook
$5.95
This book is a collection of 9 short stories that mix sci-fi and fantasy themes, with a strong streak of The Twilight Zone irony. Knowing what is real and what isn’t in a story, as well as in our lives, is a sometimes-disturbing situation, but not always, and this condition of confusion or doubt often occurs at the intersection of science fiction and fantasy- the crossroads of reality or expected reality and the impossible constructs of the imagination.
This book is a collection of 9 short stories that mix sci-fi and fantasy themes, with a strong streak of The Twilight Zone irony. Knowing what is real and what isn’t in a story, as well as in our lives, is a sometimes-disturbing situation, but not always, and this condition of confusion or doubt often occurs at the intersection of science fiction and fantasy- the crossroads of reality or expected reality and the impossible constructs of the imagination. The stories range from medieval times to the slaughter of a future war, from heartwarming to hilarious, from the plainly satirical to the painfully ironic. In all cases, these tales deal with the essential human condition, which includes words like right and wrong, love and hate, life and death, sadness and laughter- everything found in literary novels can and is found in good science fiction and fantasy- just in another format. As you read, it is up to you to determine whether what you are reading represents some of the truths of humanity, or not. Ask yourself this question: what do you know to be true vs. what do you believe without real proof? Most importantly, please enjoy the stories for what they are- short, sweet and entertaining.
