Resumen del Editor

Do you want to laugh? Do you want to cry? Do you want to feel alive? Do you want to experience the adrenaline of edge-of-your-seat suspense? Do you want to learn what true love is? From the story of a man who clings to a life less lived to the man who begs to put an end to his charmed life, from the children who try to escape their sadistic parent to the mother who will stop at nothing to hide the crimes of her child, this amazing collection of short stories is a must-listen.

Vigilantes, bank robbers, extraordinary birthday presents, unforgettable road trips, forbidden love, and water--The Name of the Book offers all of this and more. While it does not attempt to answer the age old question "why are we here?" it will definitely tell you what is here. And it is everywhere!

An Unexpected Delight

Normally, I would not be drawn to short stories or collections, but after reading Calamitous Fortunes, I was hooked by the author's unique delivery. I was not disappointed with The Name of the Book. Often with a twist or shocking revelation, I found myself contemplating the characters and their stories long after I had put the book down for the night. The pace and the variety of each chapter was compelling enough to cause pause and addicting enough to want more. I am eager for the next book in the series!
