“It’s a rain of toads, Gloria. And me without my umbrella.”

A little horror, a little humor. A dash of fantasy. A ghost story and a twisted fairy tale or two. That's what this quirky collection of flash fiction is made of. It's a mad sampling of short-short stories: the wondrous, the grim, and the wacky all compiled together in one eccentric little book.
