Just Another Day in Paradise

Life in the big city is not for the faint of heart.

Shadows lurk in sunlight; blood spills on floors; hope and dread are just two sides of a neon sign; and loneliness is a paper cut on the heart, an invisible wound that eventually kills. It has always been so, it always will—the past gave birth to the present, and the terrors recounted in fairy tales and classic plays still have the power to frighten us today.

This is a newly curated collection of short stories featuring almost four dozen additional tales of apocalypses (zombie and otherwise), epiphanies, and discoveries in which Katherine Tomlinson explores the dark heart of urban living—the violence that seeps through walls like rancid cooking odors, the paranoia that grows in the dark, nurtured by guilt and grief; the retribution that strikes as suddenly and implacably as summer lightning.

It may not be beautiful, but it’s all we have and every day above ground is a victory. So take it one day at a time, one story at a time…Just Another Day in Paradise.
