A Collection of Fifteen Unpredictable Short Stories
Fifteen years in the making—or just fifteen weeks of actual writing—Night Light Tales is a diverse and unpredictable collection of short stories that explore the strange, the dark, and the unexpected. From futuristic lotteries with unsettling consequences to dinner parties gone terribly wrong, from the eerie stillness of an empty Earth to the chaotic whimsy of a world turned inside out, each story offers a glimpse into the many facets of imagination.
Within these pages, you’ll meet a handyman whose lottery prize is more than he bargained for, a stay-at-home husband with an unsettling hobby, a teenager discovering the thrill and danger of walking through walls, and a woman who finds herself locked inside an aquarium—alone. Some stories emerged from careful planning, while others sprang to life in an instant. Some are sharp and biting, others reflective and strange. All of them invite you to step into worlds where reality bends, characters struggle, and the unexpected is just around the corner.
For readers who enjoy speculative fiction, dark humor, surreal twists, and thought-provoking tales, Night Light Tales is a collection that lingers long after the last page is turned.
