25 Short Fiction Tales Spooky tales told while huddled around a campfire. Memories of "the good old days" shared by grandparents. Alien invasions by flashlight, under the covers, after bedtime. Short stories are like Forgotten Treasures you find in a trunk in the attic, just waiting to be discovered. Inside this book lurks a Christmas loving demon, a pirate ghost who becomes flesh only one night a year, and an ancient Egyptian god who longs to be a god of rock-n-roll. These tales, and many more, are anxious for you to open the cover and dust them off.
