About this ebook

Are you a fan of the upside-down worlds of the Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, or Black Mirror? How about Stephen King or Neil Gaiman?


Then spend some time reading these 26 twisty, turny stories that cross genres and blur the lines between reality and fantasy.


In Seven Hundred and Seventy-Six, a timid bank clerk working in the Arizona frontier encounters a strange man and an even stranger gun.


In Halfway, detective Marty Quinn comes home to find his wife murdered and a high-tech entrepreneur is a prime suspect.


In Captain Coffee, a caffeine-powered superhero comes to the rescue. ...and many more fun ways to spend a few minutes of your day.


All 52 of Phillip McCollum's Fantastic Shorts are available over two volumes.

    A wonderful assortment of short stories that should appeal to most any audience. Mostly in the realm of sci-fi or fantasy but enough realism to make it work in any genre. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection and look forward to more of this author’s work.

    I was initially drawn to this collection of short stories because the author mentioned it was similar to The Twilight Zone series. In the end, he was right. There is a certain amount of creepiness and discomfort that leeks from these stories and gives me a vibe not unlike that of the TV series. All that was missing was the unmistakeable voice of Rod Serling. However, it differed in the way that all authors come with their own style. There were stories I liked more than others naturally, though I am sure it is only because of my particular interests. Overall, give it a try. It's good to read a fresh voice in the literary world.
