Twelve Tales Lie | One Tells True brings together 13 stories of the fantastic and fearsome by award-winning author Maria Alexander.


WARNING: This is not your typical short story collection. While twelve of the tales are fictitious, one is a creepy true story sure to amuse and alarm even die-hard horror fans. Guessing which one is half the skin-crawling fun. Is it the man who resurrects his abusive father for revenge that goes awry? The woman who brings home a birthday balloon inflated with hellion instead of helium? Or the couple that accidentally buys a home sitting at The Crossroads, where the "H" in "HOA" has a whole new meaning...?

As Neil Gaiman once said: "Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all." Read on and decide for yourself.

"A great collection of dark stories with bite." —Yvonne Navarro, author of Deadrush and AfterAge
