In a seemingly quiet hospital room, strange creatures lurk just out of sight, while a fifteen-year wedding anniversary in a mountain cabin takes a couple to places never seen on earth.
These are only two of the tales contained in Linda P. Young's 5 Short Stories that just aren't write! These tales offer a brooding, insightful glimpse into worlds where darkness holds sway. "Decision"finds three aliens tasked with a judgment that affects an entire planet, while "When the Leaves Scream" offers a deeply personal tale of one young man's untimely death, and the mark his passing left on the author.
Examining subjects society tends to avoid, "15 MINUTES," the centerpiece in Young's work, is a controversial and often macabre look into the mind of a seasoned serial killer. A famous restaurant owner is attempting to slow down his life with a smaller version of his four previous restaurants. These combined events build to a conclusion that shakes the very bedrock of a small town.
Find a quiet spot, hunker down, and prepare yourself for Young's frightful tales. But leave a light burning-because you never know what's just out of sight in the dark.
