About Coming Up Short 11 (Unabridged)

When Matt stops at a diner on the edge of a strange town, it seems that everyone in the restaurant knows him personally, though he’s never seen any of them before. As he wonders how they know his dining preferences and other intimate details of his life, someone appears who makes him contemplate his reality. His wife makes a terrible confession regarding their marriage on her death bed. He’s angry and bitter and seeking answers as the world around him crumbles into ruin. What will he do though, when he realizes she isn’t quite done with him yet? He’s got a deadline to produce his newest novel, and hiding out in his cabin in the woods seemed like a great idea to inspire the writing process. What he didn’t expect was the man who hovers in the woods watching his house or the memories of his girlfriend that invade his mind. Are the appearances of the man and his memories stress induced mirages, or is something much darker at play? Coming Up Short 11 is a new collection of tales of the macabre and the mysterious by the author of the award-winning Killer of Killers and Within the Fog series. Warning: These stories will keep you up late at night, nervously chewing your fingernails, cringing at every little creak of your home. Our reality may not be what you have been led to believe. For fans of The Twilight Zone , the Coming Up Short series will be familiar, and twisted territory!
