Book Description
Once upon a time, in a dark
& scary place, in a frightening land way too close to home...
Crystal Connor's ...And
They All Lived Happily Ever After! is a collection of short fables not
meant for children; but for those who enjoy the madness of nightmares.
In the 'Queen's Pawn'
you'll visit a magical kingdom full of wonder and splendor only to come to the
sickening realization that when the Queen had a message...she sends her pawns.
The perils of eating forbidden
fruit have been cautioned against since the Book of Genesis, but will our urban
princess in 'The Apple' heed those warnings?
Embark on a mystical and
treacherous quest to reach 'The Ruins', located in place
so sacred that is should never be visited by mortal man.
These are just a few of the
adventures you'll have as you explore the dark imagination of Crystal Connor. Fourteen
short stories of horror, science fiction, and fantasy; 65,306 words of terror
by a single author who clearly intends to one day be known as a Master in the
genre.
Monsters, Women, and Villains (oh my)!
My Review
Crystal
Connor has put together a collection of stories in a format that I adore and
have yet to see anyone else do. She has pushed the boundaries of the “norm” and thank goodness for that! Her
creative brain must have been in high gear when designing the layout for ...And
They All Lived Happily Ever After! Along with the traditional text found in all
books, Connor has included mock material coinciding the story line, handwritten
journal entries, and shots of text messages.
All the stories were very different from one another. They ranged in various genres, such as paranormal, horror, and sci-fi. I enjoyed Crystal’s play on modern-day life as much as the rich fantasy realm she described.
The
end of the collection contains a section where Connor explains the inspiration
behind each of the short stories. It’s always fun to get that behind the scene info!
