Twisted Tales From The Northwest (Star Lady Tales Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Mari Collier (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 80 ratings
See all formats and editions
In this collection of short stories, you’ll meet vampires, zombies, elves, and aliens​. You’ll step into an old haunted house​. You’ll even witness a ​trial of the Kafkaesque sort​, set in the distant year 2668.

But you’ll never guess how any of these stories are going to end.

Twisted Tales from the Northwest are chilling, subtle stories of latent horror​. There’s not much blood spilt, but still, maybe you should refrain from reading this one at night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short stories with unexpected twists and turns.
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

I don't know exactly how to review these stories except to say they were very well written, very entertaining and very worthwhile reading. I loved the completion of the book and each of the stories resonated. I am so used to reading a continuous tale that a series of stories such as these is almost a shock as each story ends and a new one begins. But no matter. Each was entertaining in its own right and in its own way. All the tales put together make a fine presentation worthwhile for any group of readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2019

When I read the synopsis, I guess I thought this was to be a book of horror stories. However, it is more a little bit science fiction, a little bit fantasy, with a touch of tongue in cheek thrown in for good measure. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the stories. It just wasn't horror. So, go in with your eyes open and enjoy the stories offered. And stay away from gurgling basement drains.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good ideas but flat writing
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019

Many of the ideas for these short stories are nice variations of horror themes. The author would do well to work at building tension and a climax. Otherwise well written but these stories were flat or anticlimactic.

Hit and miss, some fairly good stories and 1 or 2 terrible ones. But the good ones are reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone" which is very high praise.

Mari Collier has an amazing knack of convincing you of things you won't believe. Open this book with a fully open mind, and ENJOY!

I just finished reading my first (but not last!) of Mari Collier's books. Such well written, imaginative stories are hard to find, but here they are! Her imagination is impressive, her writing is divine, and her stories have impacted me to become a devoted reader. I highly recommend you find that you love her, too!

Thanks, Mari!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rain falls on the just and the unjust ...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2019
Verified Purchase
Mari Collier's lucid prose channels a world of endless green and wet; the Northwest of the United States of America. In this genteel setting, innocent protagonists get caught up by supernatural forces. The horror details are almost never explicit, the stories gaining their power from a contrast between the gentle background and the sometimes awful otherworldly intrusions. These stories stand in the tradition of ghost stories to be read aloud to an audience at Christmas. Just excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky and dark paranormal tales from a consummate author who has actually lived in the Northwest
Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2015

Spooky and dark stories from the twisted mind of the consummate author Mari Collier, who writes twisted tales so well! She's lived in the Northwest USA and knows the area well about which she writes.

I have several of Mari's books, including the Chronicles of the Maca series - they are mostly eBooks but recently printed copies are available and she will autograph them! A real treasure.
