Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sting in the Twisted Tale is a collection of short stories. A number of the short stories are adapted from several of the authors published books, while a few others are extracts from the many works the author is working on and are yet to be published. In the short stories, the author creates scenes that visually jump to life and keep the reader in tension. The stories are a combination of rousing, dramatic, and at times comical look at the web of complications that arise from day to day life while others depict the brutal realities of war, crime, promiscuity, adultery and lies. As the events of each story begin to intermingle, the episodic discoveries and conflicts only become more interesting and compelling. The twists and turns in the stories keep building on top of complex and driven characters, and the stories crescendo extraordinarily to an unexpected and dramatic end. The characters in some of the stories exhibit unique and memorable qualities of both courage and determination while those in others, after all of their poor choices and moral challenges, the readers still empathizes with them.

Download or read book Unstable Twisted Tales Tasty Entrails written by Barbara Blanks and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Blanks is equally adept at both horrific blood-thirsty stories and humorous blood-thirsty stories. She is, in fact, a little afraid to turn her back on herself because she doesn't know from what sinister brain vault some of these story ideas escaped. This mixture of mystery, crime, horror, and humor will leave you off-balance, which is-perhaps-better than being unbalanced. Or Unstable. But don't press the issue with the author. Really. Don't. Suggestions: Stay away from power tools. Avoid parks, cemeteries, zoos, farms, malls, stores, theaters, and ... your own home. And don't go toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Parental Guidance Advised only because some subject matter may be disturbing to youngsters.
