Scott really surprised me

We know Scott as an imaginative Storyteller in alternative worlds times, but this group of Short stories really Shows an amazing depth that take the listener to new and unexpected places.

Fantastic Short Fiction!

After listening to all of the Middle Falls series, I was curious to see how Mr. Inmon did on short fiction, and I was NOT disappointed. These are all fantastic stories, and showcase a different style of writing and imagination from the author. Shawn is great at quickly grabbing your interest and then developing a story that holds onto you until the very last word. His characters are all very interesting and believable, and have a satisfying depth to them even in a short space of time and words. Mr. Tiedemann did an awesome job of narrating the stories also; his ability to give different voices to the characters that sound so natural, and maintain your interest in the story until the end is really great. This is a great collection of stories that crosses different genres; there's suspense, humor, melancholy, sadness, excitement, and hope embedded in this collection in the form of these 13 stories. Well worth your time; you will not be disappointed!

Loved this!

Thank you Shawn Inmon!
These short stories are captivating and filled with great characters and concepts! Just enjoy them for what they are. I wish there was many more to read!

A couple are brilliant

I love most of the Middle Falls series, but to me, these are hot and miss. A couple of them are brilliant, maybe it's the writing style..... This is truly my 2 cents worth, but I'll let you be the judge.
