This collection of short stories offers a variety of tales about different people, places and eras. About the only thing they have in common is that the lead characters in these stories are almost never who they appear to be. The story-telling style is decidedly narrative. This will niggle at those who object to a writing style that “tells” rather than “shows” but it suits the stories very well.
All of the stories have an element of slightly dark humor to them. Aside from a certain sense of humor, the tales vary widely, although you’ll sense some common themes, and while some have happy endings, others do not. Some of the main characters aren’t very likable, although all of them come across as people you might recognize.
By the time you get to the longest story, Last Chance, you’ll probably have a good idea within the first few pages what the main plot twist will be, but chances are you won’t be too sure about which way things will go from there.
“A book of Revelations” is available from Amazon.
