About this ebook
“David Kubicek deals with the most profound of emotions, betrayal in a small community, and does so wonderfully.” - Lincoln Journal Star,1988, reviewing “Ball of Fire.”
David Kubicek’s omnibus collection containing all of the stories in his mini-collections Prospect Street (science fiction), Elevator (suspense and horror) and Ball of Fire (contemporary stories). Ranging from commonplace to bizarre and from deadly serious to whimsical, these stories showcase a wide range of David Kubicek's storytelling. Includes author's commentary on the inspiration for each story.
This collection includes:
"Ball of Fire:" In this Pushcart Prize-nominated story, Jill Tanner’s UFO sighting makes her a laughingstock in this small farming community—until everyone starts having close encounters of the weird kind.
"What’s Wrong with Being A Nurse?:" Many children want to be police officers, firefighters, doctors, or nurses when they grow up. Why does Chris’s seven-year-old daughter Suzy want to be a human sacrifice?
"A Friend of the Family:" In a desolate future where doctors have been replaced by Healers who practice primitive treatments like bleeding, one medical man risks his freedom to help a member of a Healer’s family.
"The Moaning Rocks:" George Winterholm believes the old legend about death coming to the prairie is just superstition—until he comes face to face with it on a cool autumn evening.
