    About this ebook

    Short Dark Fiction...

    What does a child’s first memory have to do with an Indian girl whose brother has just joined a terrorist group?
    What does a man in a dark Midwestern house have in common with a teenager running from the Buenos Aires Police?
    A misplaced biker and a boy whose sister is about to die?
    A policewoman hanging onto her sanity and a faded British pop star?
    They are the people we are.
    They share the same hopes and fears that we do.
    They walk about us every day and stare back from the mirror.
