Synopsis

Bryant Street is where The Twilight Zone lives.

Bryant Street, a standard subdivision street outside of any city. Well-kept lawns, paint and roofs up to HOA standards, two- or three-car garages. Everything looks to any casual observer perfect and normal.

But inside those perfect-looking homes, the residents seem just a little off. A little twisted or confused or a half-turn out of reality.

Normal exists on other subdivision streets, but never on Bryant Street.

Spring is one of four books in the Bryant Street Surreal Stories Collection, each containing 10 fantastically strange stories for your enjoyment. If you like Twin Peaks or The Twilight Zone, take a delectably weird stroll down Bryant Street.

Bryant Street Series Introduction by Dean Wesley Smith

A long time ago, Stephen King said that he wrote about what scared him. For me, not much in the world scares me besides the fear of being trapped in a subdivision. If I find myself driving down a subdivision street, I start sweating and my hands grip the wheel and I search desperately for a way out. Weird yes, but very true.

So I started writing about the fear, going from house to house on a street I called Bryant Street, telling the story of the people I thought lived in each house. Twisted stories, Twilight Zone-like stories.

Now, for the first time ever, 40 of these stories are collected in four volumes. I like to think of each story as an episode in an ongoing series. And each book a season of that series. None of the stories tie together. Each story is different.

But all 40 stories take place on Bryant Street.
