Twelve thought-provoking tales of suspense, heart, and mystery. Visions of our time with a unique twist: unusual powers, strange phenomenon, and forbidden science.
I've always been fascinated by quirky and unusual tales. Stories that make you gaze into the unknown and ponder "what if?"
Sometimes, late at night, an idea will come to me. Like lightning in my hands, it will keep me awake until I write down the premise. Then, in the light of day, I'll flesh it out to find what secrets live inside.
Over the years, I've collected these stories, sometimes sharing them with family, but mostly just squirreling them away on my hard drive. I promised myself that some day I would share them, but life was full of distractions and I got sidetracked. Until now.
I've combed through the pile and found my favorite short stories, cleaned them up, and hired an editor to tighten the screws. The result is Twelve Endings:
My beta readers really enjoyed these stories, but since writing styles are subjective, I'm making one story available for FREE. Simply click below to read The Secret Within:
Twelve Endings is full of diverse stories and stranges twists. Some are short five-page snacks, while others are deeper 20-40 page affairs. Each story is unique but thematically they share some DNA. Most are stores about the real world with one impossible wrinkle.
Here's a list of the titles to entice your imagination:
The Founder's Edition includes 1 additional story which will not be available in stores:
A hobby of mine has been making silly books to give to friends and family as gifts. For the first time ever, I'm making these available to the general public! You can get them all in the Ridiculous pledge level, or you can buy the à la carte after pledging for the physical book.
Here's a brief summary of each:
Worst Day Ever: Joe was having a really bad day. You can help him (or likely not) in this short "Pick Your Story" adventure.
The Man Who Fell Down 80,000 Stairs: My first ever novelty novel. Basically 240 pages of a man falling down the stairs. Very silly, no plot, but the perfect gift for that goofball in your life.
Awful Activities: A prank activity book of frustrating, impossible, and unfair puzzles. Fun not included.
These novelty novels are all from another time. Silly books with rough indie edges.
All stories for this book are written and are currently with my editor. If all goes as planned, you should get your copy in October. Here is my estimated timeline:
Corey Konieczka is the designer of award winning board games such as Star Wars: Rebellion, Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game, and The Initiative. He an avid reader and has been writing stories as long as he's been playing games.
