    About this ebook

    Step into a world of myth and mystery with this captivating collection of flash fiction tales.

     

    In "Lost in the Underworld," you'll meet the ferryman of the Underworld, faced with a difficult decision when an obnoxious woman boards his boat. Will he escort her to the final gates of Hades or toss her into the river?

     

    In "The Oracle's Doom," Meliah is an oracle under the care of the famous Delphi, who has had a vision of her own death. With every second counting, should she attack her killer first or sit back and wait?

     

    "Rebirth" follows Mark, who has earned an afterlife in the deepest, darkest pits of Tartarus after murdering his girlfriend in cold blood. He petitions Hades for a second chance and is shocked to find his judge is the girlfriend he killed. Only she can decide his fate.

     

    For those who have ever wondered what it's like to be a healer to mythological creatures, "Ouch, Fire Hot!" tells the story of Atora, the Underworld's healer for eons, who faces his toughest challenge yet when he encounters the famous three-headed hydra.

     

    Finally, in "The First Ferrywoman," Felicity joins Charon in escorting souls to the final gate of Hades. Her first soul is a sexist jerk hoping to get lucky with the Underworld's first ferrywoman. How will Felicity fare?

     

    With intriguing plots, well-crafted characters, and a richly imagined world, this collection of flash fiction is sure to leave you spellbound. Whether you're a fan of mythology or simply love a good story, Thrills and Chills of the Underworld is a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling and immersive experience.
