About this ebook
We all grew up reading or being read short stories. Some were benign and almost, like sweet fairy tales. Some were maybe a bit more in the vein of campfire ghost stories. In any case, they were fun and we remember them fondly.
Let's shatter those illusions, shall we?
This collection of short stories by Chris Van Dyk oscillates between being high action, fun, horrifying, and even campy. The loosely affiliated mini-series in the beginning gives a nod to the demise of childhood while others are definitely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, and perhaps Jessica Lansbury for good measure. Spend some time getting lost in a world that makes no sense in "An Unusual Anthology."

Salutations, dear readers! My name is Chris. I've been a writer since I started writing fanfiction in elementary school. My first book, "Awaken: The Hollowstone Chronicles" was originally printed by Tate Publishing in 2009. I have since left Tate and am now publishing exclusively online. My favorite genres are horror, suspense, mystery, fantasy, and sci-fi. I used to encourage folks to check back often, but writing has taken a backseat to every day life lately. The first three books of my Hollowstone Chronicles are available and are in Premium Catalog status! Book IV has been outlined and... that's about it for now. Book V is... well, it's in there somewhere. Stay tuned! I have also written a book about my experiences as an American teaching English in Korea. Trust me, the act of simply taking a shower is enough to write a book over there! Be sure to check out "A Life Less Ordinary!" I've taken up several smaller, but definitely significant writing projects. I took my first swing at including LGBT writing in my arsenal with "Both Sides of the Fence." My first piece of LGBT fiction is a novella titled "Pieces." I plan to expand and explore this genre later with that copious time we all have in abundance. :) Other than that, I'm an English teacher, a martial artist, a linguist, and a pretty darn good cook if I do say so myself. I'm originally from Dublin, VA, but I relocated to North Carolina after living for three years in Baton Rouge. When I figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I'll let you know. Thank you for visiting my page and taking an interest in my books! Happy reading!
