Lost in the Timbre: Fables, Parables & Flash Fiction

Short stories reminiscent of Aesop's fables and Sufi mysticism begin this collection of modern allegories and contemporary parables. A gnat shows resilience in "The Gnat & the Horse," and King Arthur bonds with Lancelot in "King Arthur's Secret." Greek myths get a new treatment in "Hope Chest," "Sisyphus' Reward" and "Paying Asclepius," while modern religion faces its own challenges in "A Question for God" and "Three Angels." The final section, Flash Fiction, gets a touch of modern realism as characters reflect on mortality and injustice in stories like 'One-Shot" and "In Jacob's Memory." This collection offers sixteen fast yet powerful stories for readers wanting challenging literature that will stay with them for a long time to come.
