Tales by 10

The human emotions encountered in this anthology range from hot as a dragon’s fiery breath, to cold as an assassin’s logic. Ten experienced authors explore this spectrum in a collection of prose and poems. The book opens with a tale of teenage angst and ends with a story about a deputy sheriff mystified by a dog’s corpse — in between you will find anger and compassion; ugliness and beauty; life and death; love lost and personal salvation. The writing is as gentle as a caress and as brutal as a bare-knuckle punch to the gut, as comforting as hot chocolate on a winter’s night and as disconcerting as alligators in a swimming pool.
