Strong beginning

It started off strong peaked my interest even made me smirk and comment out loud . However last bit lost it for me . I am intrigued and looking forward to reading more and learning more Mr.Christie.

Didn't do anything for me

Sorry, but just didn't like any of these, and I'm a short story/novella lover. The title caught my attention and interest, but was disappointed none of them touched me. Sorry, but I would try these authors again.

Front yard.

This was an odd little story. I honestly don't know what to say about it. I'm awfully glad that I didn't pay for it, yet it does tend to stick in your head. So, I guess I'm glad I read it?

Title: Of Princesses and Freaks

Subtitle: Two Short Tales

Author: Alex Issa

Narrator: Kalee Brooks Embler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-06-13

Publisher: Lyrical Lip Service, LLC.

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

Alex Issa's thought provoking stories are difficult to classify. From post-apocalyptic fables tackling restraint in the absence of law to tales of hit man morality, his short fiction has challenged readers and delighted critics with its minimalist sensibilities and ever-present subtext. Here, two almost surreal short stories lead the listener through disturbing and somehow beautiful locations in the mind.

"Bella's Slippers"

Locked in the tower, Bella laments her fate, the decisions she made about the liquidation of her mother's estate, and the ambitions that have left her helpless on unforgiving stone with rodents and roaches her only companions.

"Big Top Slick"

A father explains to his son why running away to the circus isn't the best option in this surrealistic and vaguely philosophical exploration of society, shunning, and human nature.

Members Reviews:

Intense and a thrill ride!!!

Alex Issa,

You have done it again!!!

This book has two mind bending tales that will leave you breathless.

In the first tale we are introduced to Bella, a young little creature who is lost and upset. She is in tears as she stares at her white slippers and cannot stop sobbing.You feel her pain and just want to pick her up and tell her it will all be okay, but the arms that are eventually wrapped around her, are not from one you would expect.

In the second story, we are taken into the lives of circus performerS, and the politics that go right along with them. Mr. Slick explains to Jake the ropes, and the who hates who under the big top. No matter what Mr. Slick tells him, Jake still wants to be a part of them. Mr. Slick has knowledge of what goes on under the big top, and with very good reason!

I am a huge fan of this author and I am reading every thing by Alex that I can get my hands on! This is not horror fiction, but it does warp your mind and make you think! BRAVO!

When it comes to family, love, tradition, and pride are a powerful brew....

Family dramas, comic mishaps, sentimental remembrances and poignant choices illuminate these thirteen stories by new and established authors.

Prop your feet up, sip a cold glass of sweet iced tea, and lose yourself in a way of life that's as irresistible as pecan pie and as unforgettable as a chilled slice of watermelon on a hot summer day. Welcome to a place that exists between the pages of How It Was and How It Might Have Been - just a little bit south of the long path home.

Sweet Tea Collections: Sweet Tea & Jesus Shoes, On Grandma's Porch, and More Sweet Tea.

Members Reviews:

Sweeter Than Tea: A disappointment.

I bought this book because it was listed with Deborah Smith as its primary author but none of the short stories in the book is by her. She is one of my favorite authors and I have every one of her books. I did not like most of the stories in the book because they were too sad. Also, I don't know why recipes are included in the book as they have nothing to do with the stories.

Short stories...but they are good ones.

This is a group of short stories. I haven't finished it yet, but what I've read so far, is good. I don't usually read short stories, but these are good.

very entertaining

I really enjoyed this book!! Lots of great stories and some bonus recipes at the end of the book too!!

Spicy, too!

"Sweeter Than Tea" is a marvelous collection of stories centered on the American southland. The stories are varied and well-written--some are worthy of being re-read. Tom Honea is a tremendous talent.

Great stories

The book is full of great stories and makes for a great way to escape the grind of the day. Especially loved the story by Valerie Norris!
