Moony: 7 Dreamy, fantastic, unreal, mysterious, illusory, weird and eerie short stories

by Roos Boum

When Roos Boum contemplates things like reincarnation, déjà vu, and death; stories form in her mind around these phenomena. Because as long as the opposite is not proven, who's to say, for example, that reincarnation doesn't exist? What if children have talents that cannot be explained? Or what exactly is a déjà vu? Could it be a ripple in parallel timelines? And what will you do when a hyper solar flair will hit our earth, are you prepped? Or what if we wouldn't die? What would happen with our planet? And have you ever thought about that a tumor might have it's own goal in live? And what are your insights in the hereafter?

These 7 Dreamy, fantastic, unreal, mysterious, illusory, weird and eerie short stories have all been published in Dutch books and most of them have won prices. These are the stories that you are going to To Dance Forever, The Silver Tears Of Víðarr, Sweet, The Cave You Fear To Enter, Don't Blame It On The Sunshine, Healing Destruction and The Simultime.

In stories that are as thrilling as they are moving, the author posits hypotheses to ponder. Her motto is not without reason, 'Thought-provoking books that leave you silent.'

About the author

Roos Boum, Talked-about books, that leave you speechless

Roos Boum is a Dutch author who emigrated to France in 2000 and lives in the middle of nowhere with her friend Erik and some 20 animals.
There Roos (pronounce Rose please ;-) ) discovered that her childhood must have been torn apart bij the lie of Munchausen by proxy. A form of childabuse where the mother on purpose makes her child ill, so that the mother herself can get attention from medical staff.
Roos wrote her debut (that became a bestsller) about it in 2007 which is translated into False Jasmine, A Youth Ripped Apart.
After that she wrote a childrensbook on the same subject in 2008 to help children who suffer(ed) from it.
In the years after she wrote more Dutch novels and short stories on different subjects. Roos loves to write short stories with a twist. With such stories she won four writing competitions.

Spraakmakende boeken waar je stil van wordt.

Roos Boum is een Nederlandse auteur die in 2000 naar Frankrijk is geëmigreerd waar ze met Erik en ca 20 dieren leeft. In Frankrijk ontdekte Roos dat haar jeugd door de leugen van Münchhausen by proxy verscheurd is geweest. Een vorm van kindermishandeling waar de moeder opzettelijk haar kind ziek maakt zodat de moeder zelf aandacht kan krijgen van medisch personeel.
Roos schreef haar debuut daarover in 2007: Valse salie, Kroniek van een verscheurde jeugd.
Daarna schreef ze in 2008 een kinderboek over hetzelfde onderwerp om kinderen die eronder lijden te helpen. In de navolgende jaren schreef ze meerdere boeken en korte verhalen over verschillende, maar meestal maatschappijkritische onderwerpen. Roos won vier schrijfwedstrijden met haar kortverhalen met een twist.
