Step into an infinite world of stories

Listen and read

Mari Collier

Enter worlds both strange and familiar.

Travel through time, encounter witches as they move about their day, be enchanted by childhood fairies, and slay dragons from tales of old. Encounter ordinary people in extraordinary situations, and rocket through space to a wasted planet that auctions its one exportable product… women.

As in life, Twisted Tales from the Universe offers a range of stories that include humor, murder, love, and situations that never end quite the way one would expect.

Twisted Tales From The Universe

Twisted Tales from the Desert - an anthology of short stories with twisted views and endings.

This book contains adult content and is not recommended for readers under the age of 18.

Twisted Tales From The Desert

Compelling collection of short stories from Mari Collier, author of Earthbound.

The third definition of skewed is to look obliquely. That somehow describes my mind as I may see things a bit differently than the rest of the population. To me there is always something more, perhaps something hidden or shaded by another dimension.

You’ll meet a boy who doesn’t grow old, a witch that wants to be normal, an Iowa farm woman battling frogs, a vampire that chooses to live in a sunny desert, ghosts, and vampires.

Twisted Tales From a Skewed Mind

This collection from author Mari Collier contains sixteen short tales, ranging from the ancient past to our own era and into the far future.

In the past, a man learns of his twin's demise and receives a dire warning. In modern times, a widow learns her beloved daughter has rejected something they both once held dear. In another contemporary story, a young lady struggles to bake a Plain Cake that her grandmother will accept.

The futuristic tales contain a short story from the planet Dunbar, now inhabited by an alien race called Thalians. In another tale, archaeologists visit a shattered Earth to discover a Woman in White, who has waited centuries for them.

Not all of the stories will have a twisted ending, but you can still expect a surprise at the end.
