Alternative-Reads.com is a book promotion site that is exactly what it sounds like. We gathered up our boldest authors and told them to write whatever the hell they liked. The short story anthology, Writers on the wrong side of the Road, is what we got. Here are a few examples of the kind of story you can expect...
"The Barefoot Hero" by Timothy Fleming – 5 stars
A man looks back to the past after the tragic death of an old friend.
"The Barefoot Hero" brought tears to my eyes. The story is bittersweet, tragic, and brilliantly written. The characterization is deep and thoughtful, leading to a conclusion that is as painful as it is gratifying. A lovely story.
"Man Slaughter" by Lucille P. Robinson – 5 stars
An alleged murderer recalls each of the deaths she has been accused of while giving her official statement of confession.
The characters and plotline of this story are developed and executed masterfully. The characters are believable and the story creepy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.
"Pronghorns" by Casey Wolf – 5 stars
A double suicide goes to "Plan B" when initial plans go awry.
"Pronghorns" is a darkly brilliant commentary on life and death. It is well-written, gripping, and has a shockingly profound ending. This is one of those stories that resets the bar.
