From the pen of ROBERT JOSEPH FOLEY comes LIGHT INTO DARK, a startling new collection of stories that move from the lighthearted and frivolous to the depths of darkness. Astonishing and surprising, these stories will keep the reader riveted, laughing, crying or terrified at the bizarre twists Foley’s fiction takes. PRAISE FOR FOLEY’S WORK CONSEQUENCES OF PLAYING GOD – TALES FROM LINGOR HIGH “Foley’s “Consequences” is a sly, masterful, acrid, and wrenching collection of short stories. Comparison to the work of….Flannery O’Connor and Sherwood Anderson seems appropriate. There is unmistakable lushness, almost an embarrassment of richness, to Foley’s writing….No lover of piercing, tumultuous literature should miss it.” Christopher Soden. Clarion Review “Petty academic politics drive faculty and administration hopelessly apart while plots and counterplots rage and the student body glumly soldiers on….it’s insightful and comic take on the American high school and, by extension, American education in general strikes many of the right notes with verve and precision.” Blueink Review “….the punchy storyline keeps the pages turning….An amusingly offbeat parody that will appeal to quirky academics.” Kirkus Reviews A LITTLE OF THIS, A LOT OF THAT “….an entertaining exploration of religious differences, ghosts of the past, uncovered truths, and an unwinding thread of multi-generational connections….Foley’s…offering provides quality storytelling….From the opening….readers are drawn into a world of mystery and reckoning….The author’s descriptive ability shines through. Blueink Review “Rich and expressive, the short stories…inspect the microcommunities of 1910’s Jewish New York and a small Southern town….an entertaining trip….Unflinching, detailed language describes every inch of small town Equity Falls….expressive and absorbing.” Aimee Jodoin, Foreword Reviews “The book is an ambitious one, and Foley is an inventive storyteller.” Kirkus Review
