Within these pages are stories about choices made under ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. What happens when a chef decides to cook a vampire filet? Why does a mother desire and, at the same time, dread her child coming home? Which door conceals the tiger and which the lady? What does a witch do when she desperately wants a child? There are many more stories to delight readers within the pages of this incredible anthology.
Thirty authors have written twenty-nine stories with their visions of choices a protagonist may have to make. Some stories are funny, some are retellings of classic fairy tales, some are paranormal tales, and some are bittersweet. All are well-written and poignant and will stay with you long after you've finished reading the book.
