Fallen and Other Short Stories

By Matthew Barrett

This collection of short stories covers several different genres, including Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mystery, and Romance. See the original twists made on the genres with the following stories:

First Contact-The story of a group of soldiers sent down on a foreign planet to make first contact with the local denizens.

Crucifixion-A journalist interviews a famous scientist for his latest discovery.

Jack and Jill-Jill comes home to her apartment to find out that she’s in the middle of a murder mystery.

Heroics-With Prince Brom’s love kidnapped, he has to find her and save the day.

Fallen-The largest story in the collection, it deals with Evaling, who just wants to catch the attention of Michael, who she’s adored from afar, but when she journeys into the woods, she realizes her village is not alone, and finds she has to take on responsibilities with consequences that will affect her own love life and the lives of all the villagers. A different take on a classic story, the original story.

These stories always have a twist to them, ending differently than they appear. This book also comes with cover artwork for each story for your personal enjoyment.
