Paraskavedekatriaphobia: A Collection of Stories

By James Driscoll
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432769932
Pages: 118
Published: April 2011


Not everything is what it first seems to be.

Like a series of pleasing optical illusions that change utterly the longer they’re viewed, James Driscoll’s well crafted psychological, murder/mystery stories captivate with their unexpected twists and their clever, satisfying shifts of direction. The unanticipated reigns in each of these ingenious tales. With a well schooled eye for the true ironies of life, Driscoll provides the double satisfaction of the unexpected ending along with a satisfying sigh of, “Ah, of course. That’s exactly the way it should be. Poetically just.” Read them. You’ll see. Nothing will be what it first seems.
