Writer's Block: and other tales of the unexpected

By Theo Priestley

This is for you if you love The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

This is not for you if you think Black Mirror is clever.

This collection of 21 short stories and flash fiction with dark twists harkens back to those earlier days when the story explored moral and existential themes that haunt humanity and expose our internal conflicts. Rod Serling's mastery of writing often tackled themes like conformity, identity, and the human condition, forcing viewers to reflect on their lives and society.

What does Walter do to finally solve his writer's block?
What five things would you take to a deserted island if your life depended on it?
What's really in that pleasant vape you're smoking right now?

And what happens when all those choices you didn't make come back to haunt you?

These are about the darker side of life and how people react to them.

With a writing style that varies between third-person and first-person narrative, each story gently eases you into a comfort zone before pulling the rug from under you.

Are you sitting comfortably? You won't be
