Once Upon a Dead Gull

Reviews from the Beta Group: “I count myself lucky to have been included in the small group of beta readers who got a sneak peek at these shorts before the rest of the world.  Not in any particular order: Ms. Hill presents a compilation of two flash fiction thrillers with Scary Man Bridge and Telephone Frenzy. The first being a 1000 word (she may have cut it to 999) exposé of a middle aged man who delights in playfully frightening little girls until confronted with his own fable. The latter is a 500 word masterpiece for word count equaling a complete and riveting story of a woman pushed over the edge by a pre-recorded telephone solicitation. Roses From Ishmael is a short tale that begins with a blue collar worker buying flowers and beer on his way home after an apparent spat and concludes with. Oops, don’t want to spoil it. Just know it is deliciously twisted. Odd Man Out is an emotional short told in first person by a young woman/girl with a morbid fondness for cemeteries. Lastly this little book concludes with a poem titled Would You Know Me. One does not have to be a lover of poetry to appreciate the story told in quirky limerick. Best wishes Ms. Hill, I suspect you and Joe will have an international hit on your hands.” L.B January
