'Conversations With The Dead' is a themed trio of very short stories—yes, three VERY short stories—perhaps better described as anecdotal tales with a spooky twist.In 'Of Ghosts and Ghouls,' Kelly is a very naughty girl, and her ill deeds have grave consequences. In 'The Unwanted Birthday Gift,' Mary discovers the unpalatable truth about her family. And in 'Tomorrow Waits for No Man,' Luke gets stuck in traffic with an unusual passenger.Carmen Fox usually writes urban fantasy/paranormal romance/mysteries. 'Conversations With The Dead' is her first exploration of the straight-forward paranormal. The ideas discussed would be out of place in her novel-length fiction, so they are offered here without promise, in the hope you might enjoy this excursion into the dying art form of the 'short short story.'
