Dark Diaries & Twisted Tales: Volume 1

By Joseph Andrew Killeen

Dark Diaries & Twisted Tales is an anthology series of short stories that explore themes of humanity, existentialism, drama, fantasy and horror. While examining the dark side of human nature at large, these stories do so with a biting sense of dark humor and a provocative edge. A young man fresh out of prison tries to start anew but falls back into the vicious cycle of crime and death that turns out, may be inescapable no matter what he does in 'Two Wrongs' and 'Wrong Time, Wrong Place'. A pampered, bored girl finds out how exhilarating and dangerous life can end up when she runs away and chooses to live on the edge in a world full of colorful characters in 'Fleeting Pleasures' and 'Creatures of Night'. A superficial pageant queen is stalked by a deranged suitor who teachers her to rise above her selfish ego in 'Eyes on Me' while in 'Boy: Crazy', a gay boy is sent to a mental institution where he falls crazy in love and crazy in general. 'Revamped' explores the evil side of the fashion industry while 'Doomsday Erotica' explores the evil side of global politics. And 'Wilted Roses' along with 'Dirty Money Love' both illustrate how even the closest of families can be torn apart by greed. Volume I includes stories: Two Wrongs Wrong Time, Wrong Place Eyes on Me Boy: Crazy Fleeting Pleasures Creatures of Night Revamped Wilted Roses Dirty Money Love Doomsday Erotica
