Each of these nine flash-fiction stories offers a little taste of magic coupled with meditation. Philosophical and inventive, in turn, Knox examines the human condition through modern myth, broaching topics such as generational divides and similarities, enchantments mistaken for madness, and anxiety induced from overactive imaginations. Short enough to consume in moments, each of tiny stories unfurls and unfolds, introducing us to new worlds in unexpected ways that will offer pause and perspective, perhaps even a brief reprieve.

The Ghost of Kaiser Rock is a mixture of ghost stories circulating around a small town named Butler. It fits in quite well with helloween. The story about a young boy's short journey down a darkened road in his country neighborhood finishes up the book, but it certainly doesn't end the suspense.
