The Third Darkness: & Other Short Stories

By B.G. Fisher

An eclectic collection of short to medium-length tales, told in the realm of a darker world full of improbable impossibilities, where within you'll meet:

Brianna Brakeman. Young enough to believe in the impossible, finds her request made during a spiritual reading while using The Spirit Board, comes granted at a not necessarily unreasonable price.

Harold Cummings, recently widowed, getting too old to play with toys, discovers he has plenty of friends in Bunkie & Friends, when the need arrives in the form of Douglas Peterman, a somewhat shady buyer of antiques, who thinks he's finally discovered the motherlode.

Carl Baxter, though not his real name but the one he uses to rent a Rustic Hideaway, is a young man who feels somewhere along the way his life took a turn in the wrong direction. Why, in this tale told by P.t. Pelkin, he rents a rustic cabin so far back in the boonies, even the landlord's dog gets the willies back there.

In The Body on Miller Road, by P.F. Kendall, a single, nameless narrator holds forth with his good buddy as they discuss over beers what really happened to The Dweeb, a nerd from their high school days, who, thanks to the granting of an incredible gift from the gods, had been dispensing a tad too much happiness wherever he went.

And finally Peter, a long-lost aspiring writer, of course, who also happens to work as a driver for a mortuary on the side, who finds his imagination, the source of his many never-read writings, is, as are the dead he collects, starting to get the best of him in The Third Darkness, the namesake novelette of The Third Darkness, & Other Short Stories. A modest collection of softly-told writings which are, as are all the works of these authors, intended for the mature reader.
