Strangely Twisted Dark and Fishy
9 Twisted Short Stories. Vol I: Dark and Fishy.
Foul language, some sexual reference, a monster, demons, gods, goddesses, a witch, a warlock, a ghost, a priest, hell, magic, and cannibalism pretty much covers what you’ll find here– without giving twisted endings away. Just enough creepy to remind you why you read stuff like this.
Fish and Holy Water. Pious teen’s mom is a murdering scarlet woman. Sara Jane would do anything to save the harlot’s worthless soul. When the Father, the Son, Mother Mary, and a priest can’t get the job done, it’s time for some putrid magic, or so she thinks.
Baby Soft Dreams. Oh yes to be young again, oh yeah right. Jackie’s got an old lady’s face, body, and bad attitude. Then she gets a new client and an even bigger problem.
The Imp. This one is personal. Every short story horror book needs a monster, this one is mine… for real.
Old Lady on Hitch Hill. Tommy and Wyatt are best friends and petty burglars. The old lady has lots of cash, no one that gives a rat’s a** about her, and one more thing the boys never even considered.
Spirits of Hartshorn. Pam has a few regrets in her life and too much mind-altering chemicals up her nose from the Helan-Glenn Ammonia Factory. The mixture is combustible.
Witch Balls. A glassblower just wants to make pretty glass things, but her new neighbor thinks his balls are big enough to shatter her reality.
Time’s Up. Kathryn’s husband and daughter are gone; missing according to the police. The Detective makes his move then the Order is received.
The Car. Mike’s a good old guy mechanic until he buys the she-demon who’s looking for revenge.
The Empress of Eberhard. This medieval tale was inspired by a portrait of the 17th-century pig-faced Dutch woman Tannakin Skinker (image in the book and all over the web). It’s tasty.

This is a wonderful collection of horror stories, good enough to rival Hitchcock and Twilight Zone. Not only does it give you vivid descriptions of the things the author wants you to see, you also get a dose of smells for your nose. The stories from from gory to bizarre. You feel the intensity of each moment, never quite sure how the story will end. Some of them will leave you to come to your own conclusion about what actually happened.
Those who love horror stories or the uncanny will be delighted with the tales told in this book.
Great cover, too.
