Dark and Disturbing

Four short stories with a wicked twist...

FACE: Beautiful Edan is ready for her date, but plans are scuppered by her embarrassing family.

SHROOM: It’s Miranda’s birthday and she should be happy. However, a trip to the forest with her mother, Clara, leaves Miranda struggling to stay alive.

NOWHERE TO RUN: Confined to a hospital bed, a vindictive old crone and a sour young girl are about to make one patient’s life a living nightmare.

THE NEW GUY: Darius Brown was happy in his work, but everything changed when the new guy started. Made to feel like the biggest loser, Darius dreams of punishing the man. But do those dreams become a deadly reality?

TWISTED 2 by Karen A. Foster is filled with the author's trademark dark drama and disturbing characters.

FACE reminded me a little of a Twilight Zone episode, with an unexpected ending.

SHROOM is somewhat dystopian, with a young girl slipping between two different lives.

NO WHERE TO RUN is my favorite story in this collection, about a life-changing decision.

THE NEW GUY is my second favorite story, with a wicked backlash.

Shroom is my least favorite of the four, but the last two alone are worth picking up this collection.

As always,
