About the Book
Baker’s Dozen: A Collection of Short Stories is an anthology of imaginative fiction in which ordinary people encounter extraordinary, often supernatural circumstances.
The book contains thirteen main stories—plus two additional tales—spanning mystery, fantasy, science fiction, horror, dark comedy, and historical fiction. Its characters confront such phenomena as time travel, prophetic abilities, magical objects, ghostly forces, advanced medical technology, and unexplained acts of providence.
Among the stories:
- A young man seemingly drives into a town trapped in 1962.
- An old mail-order catalog offers far more than merchandise.
- A mysterious musician appears to have stepped out of country-music history.
- A boy develops the disturbing ability to foresee people’s deaths.
- An antique camera reveals truths beyond ordinary sight.
- A revolutionary eye-transplant procedure conceals dangerous secrets.
- A peculiar vending machine delivers exactly what desperate people need.
Although the stories are independent, they share recurring themes of fate, greed, mortality, redemption, human kindness, and the unforeseen consequences of getting what one wants. Most begin in recognizable everyday settings before gradually introducing a strange revelation or ironic twist.
This is an eclectic, twist-driven collection for readers who enjoy The Twilight Zone-style stories where reality is never quite what it seems.
