Publisher's Summary:

When he came to my office with his gadget, I heard him out, trying to appear both interested and co-operative - which is good business. But, I am forced to admit that neither Howley nor his gadget were very impressive. He said the gadget was designed to cause minute, but significant, changes in the velocities of small, moving objects. He wanted to know if it was illegal. He told me the gadget was designed to influence roulette and dice games. I looked at the gadget with a little more interest this time.

The good luck charm, would Nevada believe or want it's money back?

This is the first good luck charm Mr Howley ever had that worked. He came to Nevada not to see if it works. But whether or not his charm, specifically designed to influence roulette and dice games would be considered illegal or acceptable. The charm, a 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 by 3 1/2 rectangular box with a 1 1/2 inch lens in one end and on the top a 1inch diameter dial marked off exactly like a roulette wheel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are lot's of things considered perfectly acceptable...provided they don't work.

And of course everyone knows they really don't , which is why there acceptable...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a nice little story as relevant now as it was in 1959.

Members Reviews:

great!

The stories in this book are not like you find in most other collections of short stories. Very creative with interesting characters and unexpected twists. Well-written and creative. Recommended!

Fairy Tales with a Modern Fantasy Twist

As with his previous Little Red Riding Hood book, author Sean McGrath offers his readers classic fairy tale classics but set in very different universes. "The Corpse Stalks in Heaven" is the author's take on the "Jack and the Beanstalk" story where the key players are actually key characters from various religious pantheons. "Chubby Chaser" is an off the beaten path Christmas story, well deserving of other such twisted holiday tales like Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" and the Grimms' Fairy Tale "The Elves and the Shoemaker". (but just a little more twisted and set in a modern day urban time-frame) Kith and Kiln is McGrath's take on the "Hansel and Gretel" classic, but melded together in a Star Wars meets the film 2010 mash-up. With "Frostbite" you get a final taste of McGrath's morbid but oh so funny sense of humor was a woman happens upon Jack Frost.

Those stories are hysterical at times and exciting in others. McGrath's ability to tickle his readers with beautifully descriptive and eloquent phrased wording is simply masterful. The book is overall a delight to read and a fun romp around the mind of a writer who manages to entertain in each story. Bravo.

Members Reviews:

Began very abruptly, ended the same way

Once I figured out what was going on, I enjoyed reading this story (although the backwoods elements felt laid on a bit thick, with every man drinking moonshine and smoking corncob pipes). However, once the central drama became clear, the ending felt rushed and a bit contrived. I would read more work by the author. I found the relationship between the two main characters (the soldier and the alien-human) to be intriguing.

Great short story

I have no real complaints about this story - it's very unique, has moments of insight, and addresses a few important issues we all face at some point in our lives. What more could you ask of a short story?

I only wish it wasn't quite SO short... with these characters and this idea, this could be developed into quite a good novel or even series. I wonder if the author has considered expansion.

Great intro but not a story.

Good for a taster and shows great promise. Sets the scene for a real story. Love the military analytical thinking.

Excellent short story

Fantastic story, explored some great new concepts, quite impressed. There were a few minor typos that I wish I could have fixed though. Strange to see small mistakes like that in such a thoughtful and well-written story.

Fun read but confusing beginning.

I bought this simply because many podcast authors I follow recommended John's work. I enjoyed the story but the beginning was a bit confusing because it was simply SO alien, I didn't know if it was dealing with aliens, or zombies or what. Once I got further in however I enjoyed it immensely.

Members Reviews:

Really High Quality Classic Sci-Fi

I had never heard of Felix Boyd before. After I enjoyed listening to this short story, I checked Audible for other titles he has done, but found nothing. THIS is the ONLY piece of Boyd's work available on Audible. Kind of weird considering how great of a little story this was.

The story IS one of those science fiction clichés in which a robot struggles with primitive emotions, but it was executed really well.

Pick this one up if you, like me, enjoy your 50's style sci-fi. It's cheap!
