by Bob Tolin (Author) This book contains nine short stories of mystery and science fiction, tiny tales of the supernatural that are an homage to the great science fiction stories of the past and the structure an homage to the style of JD Salinger's book Nine Short Stories. All of these stories are inspired by such great works as O'Henry, Sherlock Holmes, Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov, especially the Robot Mysteries, The Last Answer, I Robot and the End of Eternity. They were also inspired by great television shows such as the Twilight Zone, the Outer Limits, and the X-Files. And also, listening to countless hours of CBS's Late Night Radio Mystery Theatre and other old time science fiction radio shows. Hopefully Sci-fi aficionados will consider them thought provoking, entertaining and most of all fun to read. Number of Pages: 142 Dimensions: 0.33 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN Publication Date: February 27, 2016
