The Short Tall Tales: Volume I
A collection of four disturbing stories about twisted realities and supernatural retribution.
John N Spacey curates a quartet of narratives that explore the boundaries between life, death, and moral consequence. The text moves from visceral terror in Where do they all belong? to the psychological unease of Ghost whispering. Revenant addresses the folly of wickedness through karmic justice, while Passing time offers a softer perspective on the departed. Spacey organizes these varied tones into a single volume, allowing readers to experience a spectrum of supernatural emotions. The work does not rely on complex world-building but rather on immediate emotional impact and thematic resonance. Each story stands alone yet contributes to a broader meditation on what remains after death.
Published in 2016 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, this work sits within the contemporary independent horror market. It reflects a period where self-publishing allowed authors to explore niche supernatural themes without traditional gatekeepers. The collection appeals to readers seeking concise, impactful horror fiction that challenges conventional views of death and morality.
