This, That, No Kitchen Sink: Short Stories

From spine-tingling horror to side-splitting tall tales—a collection where the only rule is to expect the unexpected. Life doesn’t fit neatly into one box, and neither does this collection. In This, That, No Kitchen Sink, author Charles Parmele delivers a genre-bending "sampler plate" of short fiction that invites you to explore the strange, the spooky, and the nostalgic. Whether you are looking for a shiver down your spine or a good laugh, these stories will take you from the neon glow of a shopping mall arcade to the dusty baseball diamonds of the 1930s. Inside, you will discover: • The Bite: A lonely teenager grounded on a Friday night seeks escape at the arcade, only to fall for a mysterious girl with a deadly secret and a hunger for more than just affection. • Trent Sheridan’s Tornadic Experience: Pull up a chair on the porch for a classic tall tale about a farmer who didn’t just survive a twister—he took it for a ride, complete with a rattlesnake companion. • The Life Stealer: Envy turns dark in this paranormal thriller where a student discovers the power of astral projection—and uses it to steal the life of the high school football star. • Alien Hunting, Sort Of: A skeptic makes a bet with his friends to hunt for UFOs, only to find himself on a cold metal table regretting his lack of faith. • One Game: A heartwarming and nostalgic ghost story about a farm boy who returns from the grave for one miraculous chance to play the game he loved. Bonus Content: This collection also includes an exclusive, multi-chapter preview of Parmele's epic YA fantasy novel, Dragon Steel: The Sword and The Dagger.
