Synopsis

The Buck Stops Here contains 18 different short stories, all designed to draw you in and which compel you to read on. The collection ranges from tales of the afterlife, to mundane office life and all offer a refreshing slant on the short story genre. The stories include: Works and Persons - a satire on bureaucracy's creation of the ultimate questionnaire; Cardsharp is about friends who must dispose of a 19th century cardsharp in a tale of chilling surrealism; The Third Eye focuses on the Hindu Goddess Kali, who controls Kalindra through a luminescent stone; The Perfect Crime sees two crooks, Baz and Cotter, as they bungle their crimes; Chameleon is the story of Sylvie who can take the likeness of, or inhabit, any creature. She is bound to the afterlife spreading disease, but can she take her chance and escape? These are just some of the tales in The Buck Stops Here, a varied and eclectic collection of short stories
