Overview

Thirty-nine stories. Infinite directions. No two turns alike.From alien deserters selling vacuums in 1950s Roswell to weather gods learning about love, from frontier stagecoach mysteries to a grief-eater who discovers that consuming others' pain has consequences-Sharp Turns Ahead delivers genre-defying fiction that refuses to stay in one lane. What's inside: A scientist who helped engineer emotion out of humanity discovers the system is failing Satan reluctantly visits Disneyland to negotiate a contract dispute A gunslinger who's won twenty-seven duels using behavioral prediction equations meets a drunk who breaks every formula he's ever trusted A hornet queen rallies her warriors in an epic battle told entirely from the hive's perspective A son stands at his mother's funeral telling comfortable lies. Until someone tells the truth A teenage boy returns to school after pandemic lockdown to find nothing fits the way it used to And much, much more... Spanning science fiction, Westerns, supernatural horror, magical realism, mystery, satire, and literary fiction-from 50-word flash pieces to longer tales-this collection explores what happens when characters discover the paths they've followed might be wrong. Stories that entertain. Stories that unsettle. Stories that linger long after the final sentence.Includes award-winning fiction and stories originally published in Freedom Fiction Journal, Frontier Tales Magazine, Books 'N Pieces Magazine, and Reedsy Prompts. Sharp Turns Ahead offers complete narratives without requiring extended time commitments. Perfect for readers who want depth without the marathon. For fans of genre-crossing anthologies, twist endings, and fiction that takes unexpected detours into the extraordinary.
