Description:
A collection of thrilling short stories from Paranormal / Thriller writer Barbara Watkins.
Ranging from the psychological to the paranormal, each takes us to a dark, fascinating place. With 5 short stories and 4 poems, there’s plenty to choose from. Enjoy, as they take you beyond the boundaries of your imagination.
Beware the kindness of others. When an old windup jester is passed from a dying woman, perhaps her warning words should have been heeded. Dark events await those who treat such spirits lightly in ‘Spirits of a Jester’.
Hell hath no fury like a scorned wife, as she seeks revenge upon her cheating husband, find out his fate in ‘Deadly Addictions’.
From these, to the young man haunted by a letter from his long lost mother. She tells him about the dark place she ended up in, and the deal she made to spare his life. By giving him up, she may only have delayed the inevitable...
These great stories and more lie within this great volume, from the talented Barbara Watkins.
Publisher's opinion:
"It's been a long time since I picked up a short story collection, but I was rewarded this time with an absolute gem." - Gregory Alter, writer, novelist.

Reviews:
In her "Nightmares & Daydreams" short story collection, Barbara weaves scary tales in which, after you read them, you find ourself cautiously entering a room and looking over our shoulder. They stick in your head by the time you get to bed and you pull the covers over your head to avoid dark corners. But then you have nightmares. That's the kind of effect Barbara's stories will have on you. You just can't wait for morning to arrive.
I especially liked "Awaken Spirit". It will make you believe. Passage Way to Hell sent chills up my spine. Trust me, her writing has a chilling and emotional impact. You put yourself in the character's shoes and you can't get the stories out of your head.
Clowns scare me, and so do dolls. So if that's your phobia, be sure to read Spirits of a Jester. It reminds me of m own beliefs that spirits can inhabit inanimate objects, and Barbara skillfully makes me relive my own nightmares of scary objects. But gosh darn it, I do love stories of possessed dolls, and I especially loved this one.
So if you want a good scare, curl up in bed with all the lights on, and read Nightmares and Daydreams. But remember that sooner or later you will need to turn the lights out. Good luck! Please have nightmares!

Think this is one of the best short stories out there, you would be crazy not to buy!!!!
A friend suggested this book of short stories to me, and I'm glad he did! It was a mixture of genre... I would best describe it as a hybrid genre. Each story while unique, contained a mixture of horror, paranormal, suspense, and a touch of romance. I would love to read more from this author.
