Reassuring Tales: Expanded Edition by T.E.D. Klein digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

COLLECTED HERE ARE KLEIN'S RARE AND OBSCURE SHORT STORIES, HARD TO FIND EVEN FOR DEDICATED FANS.
 

Creatures sinister but unseen. Madmen who may not be so mad. Realities that twist into astonishing patterns. Insidious new technologies beyond our understanding or control. Welcome to the existential weird fiction of master storyteller T.E.D. KLEIN, the acclaimed editor of Twilight Zone magazine and author of the bestselling novel The Ceremonies and the award-winning four-novella collection Dark Gods.

 

More than a decade ago, Klein's shorter stories were collected in Reassuring Tales in an edition limited to 600 copies. It quickly sold out and is today hard to find even for dedicated fans. This new expanded edition reprints the earlier book's contents, along with two previously uncollected stories, three poems, an essay, new illustrations, and an interview with the author.

 

Stories include:

  • Camera Shy
  • Curtains for Nat Crumley
  • Growing Things
  • Imagining Things
  • Ladder
  • Magic Carpet
  • One Size Eats All
  • Renaissance Man
  • S.F.
  • The Events at Poroth Farm
  • They Don't Write 'em Like This Anymore
  • Well-Connected


Be advised: the tales found here are anything but reassuring...

Reassuring Tales: Expanded Edition Reviews

3.5
“I enjoyed this collection of short stories quite a bit. It reminded me a lot of the Twilight Zone, which is one of my favorite television shows. A few of the stories had some dated dialog, but for the most part the stories held up to the march of time. And there were a few that genuinely surprised and delighted me. Klein has a sharp and unique mind, and I would willingingly traipse through it again.”
