Blurb

Dennis Barlow only published one book decades ago, which has since faded into obscurity. Yet ten years after his suicide, his voice still calls out to be heard. The new owner of Barlow's typewriter wakes in the night to the clacking of the keys and discovers pages filling up with untold stories. Tales of creation and destruction, inspiration and disappointment, imagination and nightmare. Barlow's spirit won't be at rest until he finishes his life's work and gives readers a chance to experience his tales from the typewriter...

My Opinion

For me the book, Tales From The Typewriter by Mark Allan Gunnells was an instant hit right from the beginning. Short stories have always been my favorites. The plot starts with a slight note of horror and the author brilliantly steers the plot in a single direction. The climax was also satisfactory. Perfect for beginners who are looking for a fast read.

I will, definitely, give the book 5 stars, Thanks to Netgalley and Unnerving Publishers for giving me an opportunity to read and review the book.
