Transparent Walkways
A well-worn path can take you to many different types of places…
Veronica Smith presents Transparent Walkways, a collection of short stories and flash fiction in which joy, contentment, and delight can lead to dread and horror if you aren’t careful. And, sometimes, even if you are. Traverse these walkways into the realm of dreams and living nightmares, where even that which is easily seen may not be what it seems.
Everyone believes their children are perfect little angels, even when they know it's not always true. But what if yours was truly evil?
Space may be the final frontier, but when a rescue ship finds an abandoned Circus Ship, it's anything but fun.
Five friends take a sneaky trip into the park to party. Torrential rains and flooding take their fun. But something released in the storm could take their lives.
Janice knew it was silly to worry about a simple medical procedure; she'd be in and out in a jiffy. Wouldn’t she?
It starts out like any other Sunday but turns into a living nightmare when a woman alone faces home invaders.
Transparent Walkways collects 31 tales of terror. Here, the walkways in your dreams truly are transparent. Here, nightmares come true.

I picked up this book to support a local author. While a big fan of the horror genre, I was appalled to find that amongst other things, this book is very overtly racist. In the short story entry "Rescue Mission of the Krikos" many of the character descriptors are unnecessary, don't contribute to the plot, and in the worst cases, are racist. The doctor is described as "A striking man, a mix of Korean and African American. The combination was exotic." Another character's ethnicity is not described, but the South African region (where she is from) is attributed as having a "sexy" accent. Another crew member is described as having a "brillohead". All of this in one story. The others in this collection range from mediocre but harmless to in one case, stigmatizing mental disorders. None of the stories do anything revolutionary. You'd be better off looking into other indie authors in the genre.
