In the mood for a thought-provoking short story?

Penumbra


Travel deep into unknown territory, where life and death are not as they seem; where machines dominate your days; where you have to be careful what you ask for, because you might get it; where magic is the norm, and stars really do grant wishes. These stories will take you beyond the realm of the solid and real, into the deepest, darkest corner of your imagination. Don't forget to bring your flashlight... 
 
"It’s no small wonder that Ms. Delisi is such a good writer; she was born into authorship...What a nice trip into the Twilight Zone with such diverse stories. It’s a perfect book to take along with oneself to the doctor’s office, hairdresser, or any place where the wait for the appointment time can be long or short. The stories are the right length to afford one time to be able to finish a story in a short time. A very well written winner. Try it, you’ll like it." ~ Shirley Truax, All About Murder Reviews, 4 daggers

When Cassie buys an antique compact, little does she know it can foretell the future--her future. Marjorie, a Florida girl unwillingly transplanted to Vermont, learns there's more to fear from the alien snowfall than just the cold. Neil Dallas's jagged descent from rock and roll singer to drug-addicted has-been is unstoppable...or is it?
 
 
Let these eerie tales take you to a place where nothing is as it seems--where the only thing you can rely on is unexpected.

“A collection of short stories by author Elizabeth Delisi. The very first story is titled the same as the entire anthology, Mirror Images. I cannot honestly say which I liked the most! All through the first, I thought This is excellent. They must have placed this one first to hook the readers. Then I read the second story. Woops! There went THAT theory!

It is much like watching "Tales From The Crypt" or "The Twilight Zone". Each are awesome and pull you in quickly, but a bizarre twists will shock your system! A KEEPER! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!” ~ Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
 
"Travel to faraway lands, and some not so faraway, where things are not always what they seem. Where true love can overcome even death or create a means to journey to the gods. Where time is only what you make of it. Learn how the many forms of perfection can include a "magically perfect" suburban family or simply someone who knows how to read and follow instructions. See how wishes can make you appreciate who and what you are, or destroy your life if you become obsessed with them. And know that, sometimes, help comes in the most unlikely places.
 
This collection of short stories is a remarkable work. Each character and situation is unique and will leave a lasting impression. If you enjoy Stephen King's short stories and the myriad of stories collected in "Tales from the Crypt" and "The Twilight Zone," this is definitely something you'll want to check out." ~ Amy L. Turpin, Timeless Tales Reviews, Rating: 5
