A Friday Night in Hell's Kitchen

And Other Short Stories - A Homage to the Twilight Zone

Who are we when faced with tragedy? How far will our minds bend when survival is on the line? And what becomes of the shadows that lurk within us all?

Dennis Waller’s debut collection of short stories invites you into an uncanny dimension — one as timeless as true love and as wicked as man’s darkest fears. Here, where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary, human nature is laid bare. Here, you’ll find tales infused with the fantastic and the supernormal, the sensuous and the grotesque.

From the rising waters of the Great Flood to the stark sterility of the modern hospital room this collection touches on the summits and the valleys of the human experience across the ages. A vacation to the cold shores of Alaska takes a sinister turn; tragedy strikes during an otherwise ordinary run; and a robbery goes hilariously wrong, for better or worse. Each story is a journey into the very moments that define and distort our humanity.

But reader, beware, for in this topsy turvy collection of stories, reality is never quite what it seems. Or maybe it’s exactly as beautiful and horrifying as you imagine. – Tori Freeman
