One cocktail party. Ten bizarre one-liners. Ten unforgettable stories.
At a show-bizzy Los Angeles cocktail party, an author wandered the party eavesdropping. Instead of polite small talk, they took notes on the most interesting, strange, and hilarious one-liners floating through the room.
Not knowing the true context of these conversations, the author used each overheard phrase as a title - and let his imagination run wild. The result is COCKTALES, an eclectic, genre-bending short story collection where every title is a real one-liner hidden inside the dialogue of the story itself.
Step into the party and travel across worlds and genres:
