About this title

Synopsis

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:

Comedic Escapades: Hijinks inside Buckingham Palace.
Classic Noir: A dangerous femme fatale prowling a smoky jazz club.
Deep Space Isolation: A poignant look at loneliness on a distant planet.
Psychological Drama: A lost romance and a crippling, trauma-induced fear of rain.
War & Morality: A young soldier behind enemy lines puzzling over good and evil.
Hollywood Satire: An actor desperate to escape the spotlight.

And more...
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Roald Dahl's tales of the unexpected, and high-concept experimental fiction. Mix yourself a drink, pull up a comfy chair, and listen in on the conversation.
