I love short stories and anthologies. Even the best author must flex their writing skills to deliver quality short stories. In less than a usual chapter length, they must introduce us to the characters and their communities/ back stories, commit to an "event" and then solve it, all while keeping the reader engrossed and flipping pages. I often find that an author will switch genres in an anthology, which gives me an even better appreciation for their talent. This volume finds one author taking on many faces of the truth to become the teller of tales at this reader's campfire.
Many have a similar theme with the writers giving their story an unusual “spin” to meet the theme’s intent without copying each other. It is not unusual to find a true gem mixed in with the overall excellent stories, making anthologies a triple threat/ treat.
In TWISTING TALES AND TRUTH readers are treated to 13 short stories that all mimic the truth, until the "twist" becomes a new version of what we thought we knew. Investigations will find clues that lead to nowhere until you look a little closer. Definitely a Halloween vibe as the visions take on a much more sinister feel. Be sure to get your spook on with Boudreau's debut.
