A Taste of the Oracle

From the bestselling F.F. Fiore collection "The Oracle."

It was a gradual thing. So slow that I hadn’t noticed anything was wrong until I heard the steady staccato sound of what could only be one thing-the tread of the recapped tire I’d just bought that morning in Los Angeles, peeling off.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Years ago, I read many a book by authors of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. One such book was The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury – a very different adventure in reading.

Bradbury certainly found an original way to present a collection of short stories - a series of stories within a larger story. So, I decided to take a leaf out of The Illustrated Man and write a book of Sci-Fi short stories in this Bradbury style.

If you like tales with a twist at the end in the vein of the Twilight Zone episodes and the short stories of Jeffrey Archer, then you should enjoy these entertaining flights into the imaginary.

If you do, please write a review of THE ORACLE on Amazon. I would greatly appreciate it.
