Paradox: True or False Tales

By Billie Mudry Spaight

Each tale in this collection leads you "down the garden path" to an unexpected ending. From the humorous to the eerie, the stories describe things and situations that could be real or total fantasy. You'll meet a talking foot that promptly starts at 4 AM; a couple of seers, including an old grandma and a lady dressed in silks; a gentleman whose job it is to watch over everyone; a scared woman alone in the dark; and a psychic who quests to find her spiritual twin. Are these tales real? Or are they products of the authors' imagination? Perhaps it doesn't matter, because, by being written down, the tales have assumed a reality of their own. So, open the book and immerse yourself in a kaleidoscope of strange experiences. And then decide: Did they happen? Or don't decide. What's important is the realization that indeed there truly are "more things in heaven and earth, than dreamt of in your philosophy." There's a little bit of O'Henry (modernized of course) in the endings. There are also bits of Mark Twain-type irony, one of Frank Herbert's short stories called "The Nothing," takeoffs on modern television advertisements, and more. Most of all, these tales are reminiscent of William Shatner's popular program Weird or What? Mixed with romance, creepiness, photos, and photocollages created by the author add to the mysteries within these covers.
