Synopsis

Life Seemed Good, But…. is a bizarre, funny, down-to-earth anthology of more than ninety original short stories. Bell began writing as therapy while caring for his wife after she was diagnosed with leukemia. What began as a way to cope later became a ten-year column for a local bar magazine. Blending understated gallows humor with the author's warped sense of reality, the stories can be read as offbeat fairy tales for grownups: a cross between Aesop's Fables and the Brothers Grimm.
Set in and around the subtly unstable Mystee Forest, the stories connect in unexpected ways, forming a world that rewards attention and invites rereading. Hidden trivia from science, literature, and culture is woven throughout. Every tale begins well, but sooner or later it goes cattywompus.
One reviewer called it “shockingly amazing.” A portion of the proceeds supports cancer research.
