Nicky Drayden is a Systems Analyst who dabbles in prose when she’s not buried in code. She resides in Austin, Texas where being weird is highly encouraged, if not required.
When I tell you this book was amazing and weird. I mean it. I could NOT stop reading this book, believe it. It was truly amazing...and did I mention weird. But all in all I loved it. I downloaded this book very randomly and very pleased with the outcome.
Truly twisted short stories. Some are funny and are weird, most are entertaining some highly so. I recommend this collection with the warning that if you are offended by off color humor you may not like all of these shorts.
These short (some really short!) stories are a lot of fun. Such imagination crammed into such few pages. I hope the author is able to sustain this in longer forms.
