Twisted Rixter

by Gretchen Rix

For your consideration--six devilishly twisted tales. For those who like them quirky. SAINTS & SINNERS--On the cruise ship Ascendant, sinners play as heaven and hell hang in the balance. And saints? They toss, throw, push or shove people overboard. THE TAKING OF RHINOCEROS 456--Myths live at the San Antonio Daedalus Memorial Zoo, including Mother Earth. TRUEPENNY--In a household where mice scoff at traps (but live in fear of the dog), the young mouse Truepenny emerges on a quest to expiate her family's sins. WHEN GYMKHANA SMILES--Run! This young black girl's survival depends on her dental health; yours on keeping out of her way. ILL MET BY MOONLIGHT--See strangers collide! And macadamia trees escape the lab! And the monkeys get out! And THE RETURN OF TRUEPENNY--MIA since the first adventure, Truepenny shocks the household by returning home on the back of a kite. But which kind of kite? From the author of TALKING TO THE DEAD GUYS.

I'm not a big horror fan, but I love short stories so this was an experiment going out of my usual reading habits. It's entertaining, and is written well for the genre. It reminds me a bit like a more horror bent Twilight Zone TV series. Just not my cup of tea.

In short: Great for horror fans.

PS: Met the author and she is a total sweetheart. I will be checking out her other fare.

Joy of short stories.



The author Gretchen Rix imagination never takes breaks, her penmanship style is beautiful.
How she think of her creations is beyond me but she sure does a great job in writing it all, making all interesting.

The narration of this book by Theo Holland is perfectly done for each of the characters in the stories.


For listeners who like joy of short stories I do
recommend !!!
