Thompson. How does a teenager work up the courage to call a girl? What would happen if a "T-Rex on steroids" attacked a city? Why do science fiction writers make the best lovers? How does a company get to Second Base with VIPs? These questions and more are explored by Stephen using less than 1000 words and in various genres from humor to horror and general fiction to science fiction. The majority of the stories have been previously published (most by Stephen himself on his website) but all have been revised for this collection. In addition, each piece is accompanied by some background information giving a fuller story experience. Customer Reviews: A Smorgasbord for Every Taste   August 26, 2010 GmlWriter These well-written ultra-short stories have something to appeal to almost anyone -- there are real and touching relationships, there's horror, sci-fi, real life scenarios, humor and pointed if subtle commentary. Some of them pack a punch; some of them have a sting in their tail; and some leave you pondering. If one isn't to your taste -- go on to the next one! The breadth of subject matter is amazing. For me, they're like salted peanuts: just one (however tasty) is never enough. It left me hankering for more! Highly recommended. Flash fiction full of variety!   June 25, 2010 SHP 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is perfect for the fast-paced life we lead. It's full of short stories that you can pick up any time to be entertained and surprised. The stories range from slice of life to science fiction. Some are serious, many are humorous. This book would make a great gift since there is so much variety in it. I look forward to reading more of Stephen's stories in the future!
