Eventual Beginnings: Stories Short and Longer is Joe DeRouen's second short story collection and contains sixteen all-new tales of magic, mayhem, and mystery. In the novella Connections, we'll explore the mystery of Justy Friedman's unexplainable possession by a spirit, and Emmet Sapp's attempt to save her. In Next Time is Now, we'll encounter Peter and Marnie and witness their attempts to circumvent a centuries-old curse, while in Beautiful Monster, we'll see why sometimes looks can be deceiving. In Alternate Life, a young man is given the chance to right a wrong that hasn't happened yet, and in Forks we'll learn why it's often best to leave the past in the past and move on. These are just a few of the tales that await you in Eventual Beginnings: Stories Short and Longer.
Praise for Eventual Beginnings:
"These stories trick you with mundane beginnings, then sweep you off on a swift journey into the magical, the mysterious, and the macabre. They ratchet up the tension before springing the trap of their darkly delightful and wholly unanticipated endings. This collection combines fun, fantasy, and frights in the best of ways."
-Heather Daughrity, author of Knock Knock and Tales My Grandmother Told Me; editor of House of Haunts and Hospital of Haunts
"Eventual Beginnings is a terrific collection of unique and well-told stories. Whether we're following acquaintances as they solve a mystery, save a friend and become a family, peeking in as a first date reveals an unexpected connection, or living the admonishment to be careful what you wish for, we enter worlds filled with humor, insight."
-Brynne Chandler, Emmy-nominated writer and story editor for Gargoyles television animated series
